This may be more suited to the quadlist, but it is also relevant to the pci-powermacs, since there are hopefully people out there still using 8.1. I have been unable to configure either of two machines with comm slot cards to use ethernet in my home network. The only option I am given aside from PPP in the TCP/IP control panel is MacIP. ASP recognizes the ethernet cards on both machines, but nothing is there for configuration. Could someone give me a step-by-step procedure for getting these to work? I've got the ethernet extensions enabled, and everything else seems to be there.
The network uses a pc (sorry) running Win98SE using connection sharing to provide internet feed for the other machines, which are a 9600, G3 AIO, PowerCenter Pro, 6500, and a 5400/180, along with another pc upstairs. I had absolutely no problems getting any of the other connections to work. I have zapped the pram on both the offenders, tried different cables, and different ports on the hub. I also did clean installs of 8.0 on each. In the past, I had a Q950, an SE/30, and several others on the network with no problems. I have also tried several cards, guaranteed to work, in each machine. This is extremely confusing.
