I'ts amazing to think that I've been using a PCMCIA ethernet card all this time while having an internal ethernet system.
You may not have built in Ethernet. IIRC the G3 PowerBook (based on the 3400) only came with Ethernet/Modem but the 3400 came in different configurations, of which some didn't include Ethernet.
Vicki's idea is intriguing, but Im sure I installed OS9.1 from disc.
And thanks for the offer Vicki. For now, I doubt I'll find time to fix something for which I have an acceptabe work-around.
Thanks, Cliff

Hi I think that what might of happened is someone has just made a disc copy of a working system they had and transferred it to the 3400 either via cd or appletalk serial , and the system they made it from never had ethernet, possibly a 1400 or 5300. disc image.
that could explain the lack of ethernet in the system profiler
i would suggest a complete erase and install of the system. also if that does not work i have a complete 3400 in parts minus the 128mb ram card i sold that you could use to test the various bits.
