Something else all together... hoping to play Diablo II multiplayer over TCP/IP. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Appletalk, like many older games. A little clarification: - My Ethernet network is up and running normally. - I'm configuring TCP/IP via Ethernet, and manually giving each machine a unique IP: 192.168.1.x, and subnet of 255.255.255.0 - I'm leaving the Router Address blank, as I don't have a router (is this the problem?) - The iBook shows its IP and subnet in the System Profiler; the iMac shows TCP/IP active, but shows blank for IP and subnet. - When going into the multiplayer options in Diablo II on the iBook, it lists the iBook's IP and options for hosting or joining a game, - When going into the multiplayer options in Diablo II on the iMac, it says "Cannot detect a valid TCP/IP address" I'm wondering if this isn't an issue with OS 8.6?
