What does 'Connect Via' show in the TCP/IP control Panel? It should say Ethernet, or PCMCIA Ethernet or something like that, and there should a dropdown menu right under that marked Configure: one option is 'Automatically using DHCP server'. If it says MacIP, you're likely missing the Dayna drivers for the card...ISTR the Dayna drivers are available buried on Intel's site. ONe of my desktop Macs is connected via a Dayna commslot ethernet adapter and all it says is 'Ethernet', but there are several extensions that it needs to have loaded to work. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
