On topic, I have a newly acquired, from e-bay(.au) of course, 2300c which I'm having fun integrating into my non-mac based hame LAN - a great leaning experience and a cute machine - now if I can just work out why the network connection is so slow .... Merçi Doug
Maybe the 10Mhz bus between that CPU and the ethernet card? =) (or was the enet on the 33?Mhz PDS bus? I can't remember... all my Duo spec knowledge popped off my stack.)
You may have a duplexing issue on the switch-side of the connection. The Duo pre-dates auto-sensing ethernet ports, which all modern networking gear has... a lot of them get into long, drawn-out one-sided "conversations" with older hardware trying to get them to auto-sense the network speed and duplex settings... which of course your Duo ignores... causing the switch to just ask more. =) If the network gear is "managed" you can usually "force' the port to stay on 10base/T, half duplex... which will make the Duo happy and productive. -- --chuck goolsbee geek wrangler, digital.forest inc, bothell, wa <http://www.forest.net> list mom, mac-mgrs mailing list... <http://www.mac-mgrs.org> ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
