Hello all! I'm trying to set up a 100baseT network between two machines, and have run into a problem. I recently got a PowerMac G4 dual 867 machine, and so therefore, I will be relegating my J700 to a backup/server role. I wanted to get a fast ethernet connection between the two machine (both running OS 10.2), so I picked up a D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100 NIC for the Umax, and a D-Link DSS-5+ 10/100 switch. Things started going badly from the moment I installed the driver for the D-Link NIC on the Umax, and my USB mouse stopped working. (!!?!?!!) I tried another USB mouse to no avail, and then routed around in the closet to find my ADB mouse, which worked fine. I got the network all set up, but every time I tried transferring a file, it would drop the connection. Both machines reported their NICs as being active at 100 Mbps in duplex mode (which the switch supports). I know I have all the setting correctly, because when I hook the ethernet cable to the built in 10baseT in the Umax, everything works, including printer and internet sharing. I'm wondering if anyone has gotten a 100baseT network working on a J700/S900 under OS X, and if so, which NIC they used, and if anyone else has had this problem with a D-Link card. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
