We had some problems with older Macs being connected to our old Bay network switches. I don't remember what the problem was exactly, but upgrading our old Quadra 605s to OS 8.1 fixed it. I think it was related to the version of Open Transport running on the machine.
The Macs dated from 93-94, their network cards around 95 and the switches were installed around 1996. -- Kelly Jones http://www.geocities.com/kdjones74 <-- My old computer collection > From: John Bruner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > If you know how to configure a hub, you know how to configure a switch. > That much is transparent.
