I don't know, but I have some guesses. Check the version of MacTCP that was around when this RocketTCP shipped. Perhaps RocketTCP only works with earlier versions of MacTCP.
Also, it seems that the RocketTCP uses IP tunneling (through LocalTalk), meaning that it puts TCP/IP packets inside of AppleTalk. Thus AppleTalk must be on for this to work. However, there has to be some router that takes AppleTalk/TCP-IP packets and makes them TCP/IP packets and vice versa. This will require Router software, which Apple used to use. I'm suprised there isn't a utility that does this already. I'm surprised that you cannot see Ethernet inside the MacTCP control pannel.... - Joaquin > -----Original Message----- > From: Rocketeer List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Constantine Karbaliotis > Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 2:00 PM > To: Rocketeer List > Subject: networking with rocket > > > This is going to probably seem like a dumb question but here goes. > > While I can access my own internal Apple network shares from > my Rocket, > I cannot seem to get TCP to work.
