Hello! Sorry for disturbing the list with a newbie question, but I have no other possibility to solve this problem. Would you please help ?
I am trying to hook up a vintage Mac LC II and a Linux PC through an Ethernet link. Configuration is the following: Mac LC II (that with the old small monochrome monitor) 6 MB of RAM System software 7.1 Ethernet adapter (with BNC connector) AppleTalk panel present under System - > Chooser, network in "on" position Linux PC Red Hat Linux 8.0 Ethernet adapter (with BNC connector) Linux atalk software (standard in RHL 8.0) Thin coax cable, 50 ohm terminators, etc. The problem is I can't see anything into AppleTalk panel when I connect the PC (I only have two icons, "File sharing" and "Laser Writer"). Since I'm a total newbie on the Mac platform, I have no ideea if there are things like a workgroup assignement, how I can establish an IP address for the Mac, how can I ping another computer, which other programs do I need and how I install them, etc. ... Would you please help? Thanks a lot, Razvan -- Dipl. Eng.
