I know somewhere in Open Transport is a setting to force it to keep the connection active or alive or loaded all the time. I used it when networking between Windows and mac because the #$^$^^ Macs were always shutting down their TCP/IP Ethernet connections and wouldn't wake up when other computers needed access to their shared resources.

The checkbox, in TCP/IP Options, is labeled "Load only when needed", so you have to *uncheck* it.

Anyway, find that, set that on and your TCP/IP connection will fire up during boot and *stay on* without first having to run something on the Mac that accesses the network.

That sounds unlikely.  Perhaps you're just running System 7.6 or later.

pinging from a remote computer on the same LAN gets no response (times out) until iCAb is brought up once and then the ping works (responds) until the next boot/reboot..
I suspect macTCP should work the same way..
