Thanks for the help.

[Caleb Cupples]

Well, I meant to write this earlier, but I was busy using my now online 
190, but thanks to all the people who have helped get my little 190 
online. I don't think I could have done it without y'all giving advice 
and tips. I would write to the individuals who gave me help, but there 
were quite a few, so I figured this would be the way to go, so thanks.

Hey Clark my Newer Microdock also needed software. So Tim what Ethernet 
Microdock do you have? The following docks are the only ones I know of 
that make it possible for a Duo 2300 to get online via ethernet:
Newertech Ultradock 16sce
Asante Ethernet microdock(micro en/sc)
Newertech Ethernet Microdock
E-Machines Netdock

re:duodocks...here's a resource on them.

Yours is a straight through problem. Simple, really. Are you on yet?
Have you installed Open Transport (the mac networking bits) if so, 
what version?
With 7 that's all you really need. Most docks were, as you thought, 
straight plug & play.

Seems to me as long as you have the comm software installed & 
configured, it'll take care of itself once all the hardware 
connections are made. 7.6.1 has a more sophisticated transport 
system, or 7.5.5., more so than 7.0 or 7.1. Were I you, I'd opt for 
that install.

Hello list,
I'm trying to get an old 2300c (running 7.6.1) net-worthy for a kid. 
It doesn't have a modem, but I do have one of those micro 
etherdocks.  It's been a long time since I've worked with System 7, 
but I remember this being dead simple back in the classic MacOS days 
- just plug in ethernet, make sure TCP/IP is getting a dynamic 
address, and you were set.  (Ironically, setting up a modem was more 
work, but since I did it more often I could probably get that done 
quicker.)

The problem is that TCP/IP only gives me the option to use MacIP, 
whatever that is.  (Some kind of AppleTalk networking?)  I 
reinstalled the networking bits since the Duo's been lying around 
and I couldn't remember how it was configured.  PPP briefly appeared 
as an option, and I set the netmask, et al.  But as soon as I tried 
to save that configuration I got an error, and the PPP option 
disappeared again.

What can I check?  I've never really used notebooks that much, but I 
do know they have some special control panels that I might not be 
familiar with.  I need to have this info soon because I only have 
two more nights to work on this before I give the machine away! 
It's still a nice little machine, and I'd like to get it in useful 
condition.

Thanks,

When it starts acting buggy for me like that I do one of two

On my DSL network I'm running the TCP/IP on Ethernet/DHCP or

Thanks for the tips!  I hope it doesn't come to reinstalling the OS, but 
as long as I don't have to completely wipe the drive I guess it's not so

BTW, currently running 9.1 on my 2300c for iTunes.  My
experience in all this was 8.6 was perhaps the best.  If I could have
gotten the iTunes patch to work I would have stayed there.  Something to
think about.
I've got this one maxxed out at 56MB (a 2GB drive, too) and even 7.6.1 
feels a bit sluggish.  I think I'd pull my hair out trying to run 8.6 or 
9.1 on it.

My newly acquired PB 1400 is acting a bit weird. If it is shut off

it works fine until I unplug it. When I plug it in again the sleep 
light

leave it plugged in all the time it starts up fine. I have reset the

in and
unplugged for up to one minute. I also replaced the pram battery. 
The clock

John, the problem sounds exactly like a low PRAM battery. You said 
that
your put in a new PRAM battery, was this battery new or used?

I have purchased a used but good PRAM battery and it did not help.
I finally put in two new PRAM batteries (the 1400/166 uses two).
This solved my problems.
I also had a Wallstreet acting weird, and when I replaced the PRAM 
battery,
all the weird went away.

Ken Vann
Thanks for the reply.  The pram battery is used and I was afraid of 
that. Would the lack of a good main battery have an effect on the 
power manager reset?

John
John and Ken, this is just to confirm that I had the exact same problem 
on my 1400 a few years ago and it was indeed the PRAM battery.  Once I 
got a new PRAM battery (one that really was new) the problems ceased (I 
was in the university service shop and the guy there said, "Oh, I can 
get you one of those" and he did and put it in - no problems 
thereafter).  I'm not sure how the main battery interacts with the 
system, and don't want to confuse the issue inadvertently so will leave 
it for others to respond.

Best,
Rick

Geoffrey Davis wrote the following on 5/18/2005 9:05 AM:
check that appletalk control panel is set for "Ethernet" (built-in or 
otherwise). and that TCP/IP is set for DHCP. Plug in your little 
ethernet transceiver doo-hickey on the back & try a browser. That should 
be about it, if memory serves.
I'll check the AppleTalk setting - hadn't thought about that.  Hopefully 
your suggestion will make the DHCP option available in TCP/IP - there 
isn't one when it's only MacIP.  The only installed software right now 
is Fetch, BetterTelnet, and StuffIt Expander.  I can grab iCab and an 
old Netscape from an FTP site once networking is active.
