Chris,
You might check to make sure the 3400's Ethernet driver is installed. I don't
recall the name of it (somebody help me out), but it's an extension that
allows the ethernet to run.
Check your TCP/IP to see the IP Address. If it's showing a 169.xxx.xxx.xx
number, then your machine isn't seeing the ethernet port, even though you've
got the TCP set right. In that case you need to go back & check your
extensions folder, to make sure your ethernet extension is listed. That's a
unique driver to the 3400/Kanga, as it uses a different driver chip than all
other Powerbooks, if my memory is correct..
You may even have a green light on your hub, showing a positive port
connection, but that won't necessarily mean that the 3400 sees the port as
valid, it's only a positive connection indicator.
Thanks,
David
