I have a Personal LW NT networked via a Farallon NT adapter: all the Macs in my environment can see it, even wirelessly, while the PB 5300 can only when apple talk is via modem port. On the other hand the PB 5300 can see and print wirelessly to the Apple LW 12/640 and even to the Color SW 2500

Ok. I've got a 520c with the AAUI ethernet adapter, and I have a Comcast cable modem. Pardon my ignorance, but I'm used to plug-and- play with my iMac. I've hooked up my 520c to the cable modem, set TCP/IP to ethernet, and get IP by DHCP server, and then... nothing. I get an error message

Hi Victoria, thanks so much for the reply! I will do as you suggested, but I am also going to look for another perhaps on eBay. If the unit doesn't work, I can at least part it out. This time though, I will look for a 540c with the hinges still intact! -Shaun On 10/8/05, victoria duggan <[E

May be two separate and different protocols, but on my 520c (and the 5300c for that matter) if both AppleTalk and Open Transport aren't set to the same ethernet setting, then I go nowhere. My inexpert thought was that AT still needed to find the zone it was working in to identify the computer

I'd run OS 8.6 on a 2400 with that configuration. It can do OS 9, but 9 in my experience is a little sluggish on a 603e unless you're using a 3400c or a desktop with 128MB or more of RAM. I think you'd find that 8.6 gives you a good balance of features without OS 9's sometimes bloated feeling.
