I've tried to set up an ethernet network between a Duo 2300 and my 6100, but the Duo frequently hangs up while loading the extensions. I've done a voodoo dance with the Duo and sometimes it will connect, but usually it hangs after the Express modem extension loads on the screen. I've played with extension sets on the Duo, going to 8.5 base and 8.5 all while including extensions that I'll need for filesharing, but it still hangs up. It does seem to be an extensions problem, but am I missing something obvious?
For operating systems, the 6100 runs 8.1 and the Duo has OS 8.5.1. As for hardware, the 6100 has an AAUI transceiver and I'm trying to connect the 2300 through a mini-dock with an Asante EN/SC SCSI ethernet adapter. When I've used the SCSI adapter with my PB 170 it connects every time.When I disconnect the adapter from the duo it starts up just fine. I have done the serial cable mini-network between the 6100 and the Duo but would love to do the cross-over network for ethernet. BTW, I can connect my 170 to an iMac using the EN/SC adapter but the iMac won't connect to the Duo. Frank Modica Prairie School 2102 E.
