For basic network diagnostics, you can download the (free) Interarchy 6.3 for OS 9 at http://www.stairways.com/main/download. It's the latest (for Classic MacOS) version of a program that was originally called Anarchie. (There's a newer, paid version for OS X.)
I'm not sure it will do everthing you want, but it will certainly do ping, trace route, DNS lookup and a lot more! It's also a pretty flexible http and ftp download program, BTW, though it's got some annoying but harmless bugs. Also, the "Mac Network" <macnetwork@mail.maclaunch.com> mailing list is still functioning, though barely! You might try joining and posting there if you have very technical Mac networking questions. - Aaron >From: "Matthew Keathley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "PCI PowerMacs" <pci-powermacs@mail.maclaunch.com> >Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 8:30 PM >Subject: [PCI] PowerMac 7600 networking issue > >I have a powermac 7600 with a G3 upgrade XLR8 card in it. mac OS 9.0.4 I >cannot seem to get it to get a ip addy. i know its a good cat6 cable and a >good router as it works on other computers. > >I tried using the onboard NIC. and even assigning an ip doesn't make it see my >net connection. > >I also have a DLink card that came with it.
