is a tool, I probably got it there, that maps Appletalk networks...I
think it reports the MAC address. Way back when they routed Appletalk

The logic boards are identical between the 520/540 series. Certainly
swapping in known-good LB is an excellent test. However, I'd try some
easier things first (one thing at a time of course), swapping the HD,
the ram, the processor, etc.
I also forget the exact problem - did you say

You have several PB500s IIRC. Have you tried swapping the HD from one of
the working 'Books to the naughty, misbehaving 'Book?
I did not replace the HD, but for my latter try I erased the HD of
the bad book and copied over in SCSI mode the HD content from another
working one.
Also, I cannot

Also, I cannot recall the details of your various PBs 500, do all have
the same amount of RAM?

If you can connect to other machines on the local LAN, it can *not* be
a hardware problem, since Appletalk uses the same hardware as TCP/IP.
However, Appletalk works independently of TCP/IP, so it could be a
TCP/IP problem.
The errors you are getting are due to the 540 not being able to

I'm testing a few 520 / 540 powerbooks for connectivity to my WLAN. I
