I'm new to the list, so I apologize up front if this topic has been discussed. I've searched the archives to the best of my ability but wasn't able to find the answer I'm looking for there.
Recently acquired a C600/240. Has an new Asante 10/100 Ethernet card in it with the latest drivers installed. I have the computer set up in my 11 year olds room. We have ATTBI Cable Modem. I have run Cat 5 cable from my upstairs hub to the C600. Appletalk is set to Ethernet. TCP/IP is set to DHCP. * Can't see any other network devices via Chooser * Can't connect to any web addresses I've deleted prefs, pressed the cuda switch, zapped the PRAM, reinstalled the entire OS into a clean system folder. Still no luck. This is the weird part. I can take the C600 to another location in the house (both on the same hub upstairs or another downstairs) and connect to the network - everything works great. So it has to be the cable between the Hub and the card in my kids room right? That's what I would have thought. However, I can take any other computer in the house into his room connect to the same cable and get total network connectivity. I've used my Powerbook Tibook G4/800, a 7200/75, a 6205 - all connect fine. So, it has to be something with the C600. But what? Is it a PCI Timing issue? Is the Ethernet cable too long? (It's over 75'). This is driving me nuts! I've had or configured dozens of Macs in the last decade - both Apple and clones and I've never had this much frustration trying to get any one of them working on a network. I'd be happy to provide more details but don't want to blabber on too long without allowing list members to ask some questions back at me.
