I solved my ethernet problem by purchasing a D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100 card, then went to their web site and downloaded one driver for OS 9.2.2, and another for OS X, putting each driver in each OS. The card works great! Hope this helps.
> ----- Original Message -----=20--From: "Jim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>I have had 2 Power Tower Pros that have experienced this one and I never = have figured an answer.
Current Power Tower Pro is a 225Mz with 130mb memory, (ot is NOT a 001 = motherboard) with: 2 2gb drives on the 1st SCSI BUS, 2 1gbs on the 2nd = BUS, and a stack of 4gb drives on a AHA-2940 PowerDomain card. Running = Mac OS 9.1 The problem: The Ethernet doesn't work. I have plugged in a CAT5 to = the RJ45, I have tried 3 different AAUIs on that port, I have swapped = hubs, tried a AAUI<>10b2 trnciever and coax.. and even tried a = cross-over to another Mac that works on ethernet..... On the hub, the = light ont hat port fires up fine. but, go to chooser and it is a blank; = no other Macs listed. No printers are selectable either. I tried a = ping ont he PTPs TCP port from another box and that does nto respond = either=20
In all respects this PTP works fine except...it doesn't see ethernet.
What I find weird is; I used to have a different Power Tower Pro and it = TOO had this same symptom...
If only I could find a NIC that works ona Mac I would try that, but, = so far all I have are a dozen PC only NICs. unless someone out there = knows a place for a driver for a Tulip, Intel Etherexpress, 3COM, = Linksys 8029, or other such that works in Mac Land...<grumble>
Has anyone else ever experienced a dead Etherent connection when by all = rights it should work?
btw, Localtalk (I was curious so I tried it) DOES work on this beast..
