Hello everyone! I've come across a problem involving veteran Macs and them obtaining an IP address.
The setup is as follows: Power Macintosh 6100 & 5500 -> 10/100Mbit hub -> Airport Extreme Gigabit -> WAN. The problem I have is that this setup has worked very well in the past, but stopped working at some point for no apparent reason at all. At first I suspected the LAN-ports not switching to 10MBps, but since testing and printing to an ancient HP JetDirect server, it seems the LAN ports work fine. The Power Macintosh 6100 runs 7.1.2, and as stated is connected to the hub, via its AAUI adapter. The LEDs stating connectivity and speed are lit. The Power Macintosh 5500 runs 8.6 and uses a Realtek TRL-8139 network adapter with the corresponding driver from Realtek. I haven't tried OS9 on the 5500 to see if it makes a difference, so I'll get to that. Does anyone have an idea where this problem might've come from?
