I suspect this may have something to do with the iMac using 10/100base-T ethernet. I vaguely recall reading somewhere that the EN/SC doesn't like 100base-T. My own experience is that I can connect fine to my platinum G3 or WallStreet (which are both 10base-T) using a crossover cable, but not through my 10/100 switch. Actually, I guess the problem is with the EN/SC not being able to be recognized as a 10base-T device by the switch. The workaround was to connect the the EN/SC to a 10base-T-only hub or switch, then connect that to the rest of the network. I don't know if you can even find 10base-T hubs/switches anymore, but I imagine a used one would be quite cheap.
