Thanks, Dan. That did the trick (I had to trash both). Now I can change the settings...almost. I want to set the LCIII up to connect to my Windows machine that shares the internet with Internet Connection Sharing. I can only change the Mac to 192.0.0.0, while the ICS machine is 192.168.0.1. Any ideas? Thanks again.
Select Ethernet Click More... button. Obtain address Manually. Use Class C addressing; subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 Gateway is 192.168.0.1
DNS information.. tricky setup. If your ICS is acting as a DNS cache (direct or forwarding) use its IP. If it isn't, then use your real DNS address. The table should look like this:
fred.com. 192.168.0.1 default . 192.168.0.1 . 192.168.0.1
Note the three entries. This is to get around a time-out bug in MacTCP's resolver; creates three retries. "fred.com." is a fully qualified domain name - that is it MUST end with a period. Of course, replace "fred.com" with your real domain name. And the two entries below it MUST be just periods.
Press OK to close the dialog. Then you should be able to put the machine's assigned ip, 192.168.0.x, into the front window.
Close the control panel. Trash both MacTCP DNR (in System Folder) and MacTCP Prep (Prefs folder). Reboot.
MacTCP is a rather primative ip stack. It's doesn't reconfigure dynamically, so if you change any settings, always trash those two files then reboot.
HTH, - Dan.
