Okay, my problem solved--yours might be the same. It was an autosensing problem. Modern hubs/switches are supposed to be compatible with 10 and 100 speed ethernet ports, and are supposed to automatically adjust to whichever one is plugged in. A lot of old Macs, though, have a problem that the aren't compatible with these autosensing hubs, with the result being no ethernet connection. Luckily I had a pile of old mac parts (anyone in the Philadelphia area need half a dozen 40-230 MB SCSI drives? Or several hundred 1MB 30 pin RAM clips) including an old g-Port workgroup hub (it is sold old that it has a BNC port). Plugged the 575 into that and everything is fine--575's drive is even mounted on my iMac's desktop as we speak. Jason -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
