Re: SCSI Ethernet

[Kyle DePasquale]

As with Ken, I too have an Asante dual-speed ethernet adaptor that 
doesn't work normally with an auto-sensing switch.  I was able to get 
it to work, however, by setting the switch to a set speed and duplex.

Hope that helps!

Hi,
I have a SCSI to Ethernet adapter that I have been trying o use for
ages now and just can't get it to work.
Can anybody help?
It came with a floppy with an extension on it I put it in the
extensions folder. All appears to be good. The power light and Link
lights come on...I create some network activity and the RxD Light
blinks a bit...HOWEVER...It is not listed in the "Appletalk" control
panel, so I can't use it. :-S
I have tried it under:
7.0.1
7.6.1
8.0
8.1
8.6
and I get the same result each time. :-(

PLEASE! Somebody help!

I want to use it with my SE mainly...but once I get my Mac Plus on 
xmas
(I love xmas ^^ ) then I may want to experiment!

I think more info might be needed. What kind of ethernet are you trying
to connect to the computer with the SCSI Ethernet adapter? What brand 
of
adapter are you using? Which version of MacTCP or Open Transport are 
you
using with each system?

I have had luck using a SCSI to Ethernet adapter with a PowerBook 165 
and
170. Never tried it with a desktop, but the principles should be the 
same.

I used system 7.5.5 and Open Transport (version 1.1.4 - I think) as it
lets me use TCP/IP, which I find simpler to configure than MacTCP, 
which
I never did figure out.

Also, the adapter I used was by Asante, and would not connect to a
network that had an autosensing switch (10/100 type device). I 
connected
to the network by putting a simple 10baseT hub between the powerbook 
and
the rest of the network.
