Re: Networking Laserwriter to iMac via Ethernet to LocalTalk adaptor

[Tom Moffat]

When I plug in the straight through cable, the LED on the Dayna box 
blinks for a second. When I plug in the crossover cable however, the 
LED lights up and stays on. I made the crossover cable from scratch 
using some RJ45s and a bit of phone wire, and I made it to standard 
spec (in terms of connections).

As far as I know there's no network port activity light on the iMac's 
ethernet port, so  i've only really got the Netwrok Prefs control panel 
to go by.

I don't have an ethernet hub yet, since I have no other ethernet Macs 
and Broadband etc is unheard of out here in Spittal Country. Up until 
now i've been networking older Macs using localtalk leads and phone 
sockets. I'll see if i can borrow a hub from someone and try it with 
the Dayna box to see if it works.
