Can i do the same from system 7.1? ------------ Don't know what you mean by a "Windows network." Do you mean that one of your Windows machines us acting as a network server or router for the rest of the machines?
But, just adding an ethernet card to the LCIII won't allow it to "talk" to Windows based machines. If you network uses a hardware router you may be able to connect the LCIII ethernet card to the router directly and access the Internet that way. >From Mac OS 7.1, I believe you need to add Open Transport to get TCP/IP functionality to readily access the Internet, however, without a LOT of hassle, the easiest means of doing so would be through a hardware router.
