>> Ken ...I would be suspicious of the Asante card. A lot of them have trouble connecting to an "auto sensing" switch. You don't say what kind of "hub" ... >> pickle ... Asante + Linksys often = trouble. Linksys routers have horrid autosensing capabilities and don't get along with Asante cards in many cases, which leads to problems. Workaround: avoid Linksys hardware or put a 10BaseT hub between the router and the card.
Thanks to all. I'm connecting through a 10/100 switch, and then to the Linksys. But I will try putting a small 10BaseT hub (non-auto) between the 10/100 switch and the SE/30 to see if that's a/the problem. I'll followup tomorrow with the results (it's late on the West Coast). >> Clark ...To no avail meaning ??? What have you tried ... I'm using a known good cable. And connecting to known good ports (regardless, I tried a couple of different ones, just in case). The switch has three LED's for each port, which indicate connection, speed, and activity/collisions. (The Asante connection is "good"/green and is at 10MB/yellow, and it does register activity when I ping out ...and the different ports all registered the same.) There's a Macintosh software utility from Asante that sees the card, registers the MAC address (the hardware address), and measures various Transmit and Receive activities. When I ping the IP address (that I've manually set in MacTCP v2.06) from a W2K box on the network, I see that the Asante utility starts measuring bytes and packets, etc. (the Windows box sends out 4 packets, and the Asante utility receive counter is increased by 4). When I use Apple's MacPing to ping out, the Asante utility shows packets, etc are being transmitted. But there appear to be no acknowledgements ...the 4 being sent from Windows aren't ack'd, and the group of 10 sent by the SE/30 (to the gateway's IP address) aren't ack'd. I have a suspicion that I've missed some kind of obvious setup parameter ...but as simple as MacTCP is to use, I don't know what that could be. ------- Brandon -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
