1. Who's Constantine - me 2. What's RocketTCP - RocketTCP is installed on 'My First Rocket Disk' when RocketShare creates it, within the 7.1 operating system that runs the Rocket. The extension is not openable, it just sits there to allegedly provide TCP functionality within the Rocket's OS. I say allegedly, because it is not working for me, even though MacTCP is installed on the host OS. 3. Why - I need to figure out why I have a valid TCP connection on the host OS -- accesses Appleshare over TCP, connects to Internet -- but the Rocket can only see Appletalk devices (server, printer). The Nubus ethernet card is working, obviously, since that is the only connection to the network. The Network control panel on the Rocket only sees "Localtalk" as an option.
To reiterate, I tried to allocate the ethernet card by using Slot Assignment, to the Rocket. This caused some crashes until it 'took', and then the host machine had no connection to the network, while the Rocket could now 'see' Ethertalk as an option under the Network control panel, and could have an IP set for Ethertalk under MacTCP -- but it didn't really work, as it could not see the network. Blah. I thought I had read -- somewhere on this list perhaps -- that one didn't need to do anything special, even though MacTCP didn't show Ethernet as an option. Joaquin suggested that I try an earlier MacTCP; perhaps that will work. If that doesn't work, I think I can get MacIP working on one of my 68k Linux Mac's with MacGated, which is a Linux package that I believe does that job. -- Rocketeer is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
