Make sure AppleTalk is Active in the Chooser. The AppleTalk control panel should be set to Ethernet. Macs often have a nasty tendency to switch AppleTalk from ethernet to the modem or printer port if they don't detect other computers (even if they aren't Macs) on the network when booted up. :P If you have Open Transport, make sure TCP/IP is set to connect via Ethernet, set the User Mode to advanced, click Options and set it to Active and _uncheck_ load only when needed. As for MacTCP, uhhh, never used it myself so I'm a bit underqualified on what to look for with it. If it's an Asante or other well known brand of NIC, System 7.5's ethernet drivers should support it. With system 7.x you'll need the drivers for the card. 7.1.x is really the latest System you'd want to use on an LC with 10megs RAM. I ran 7.1 with the Drag Manager, Thread Manager and CFM68k additions on a Performa 550 with only 12 megs RAM and a 160meg HD. It worked pretty good, even often beat my 66Mhz Power IIci and Basilisk II running on my PIII (faster than any real 68k Mac!) with the aIndy brain in Bolo. :) Yup, two real and one emulated Mac all networked and playing a three way game of Bolo. (I thought about jacking in the P75 Dell laptop but it runs Basilisk II about the speed of an LC.) P.S. I like computer games that can ply themselves in multiplayer _without_ needing any human players. Watching the AI at work without having to play the game yourself gives great insights into how to win. :) ===== "The earth swarms with inhabitants.
