Hi,
I have ethernet cable and a C600/240, also. What system are you
running? Hopefully 8.1 or above. Check your TCP/IP control panel, click
on options, then try out, unchecking the "Load only when needed" box.
That's what my cable company said to do on mine. Also, when you aquired
the Asante ethernet card, have you called asante to check to see if
there are any updates to their drivers? When I put mine in, they told me
to immediatly update to I believe Revision B. Also, ask them about the
Asante Ethernet Options control panel, and check which PCI slot your
ethernet card is installed in
Hope this may help you, I'm no computer guru, but that's how mine is configured.

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.
Any thoughts?
