My 5000/250 came with an ethernet card. It is a Zynx or some such. The drivers were on the original install disk. The Starmax shipped with two different cards so it is appropriate to install the correct one.
If for some reason yours didn't, contacting a Mac vendor and specifying your Tanzania or Mac 4400 motherboard might help, or this bit of advice is from the Starmax-talk list FAQ.
Any OHCI, Mac compatible ethernet card will work. Note: be sure to make sure that your card already has Mac specific extensions (aka drivers) before your buy and install it. Then, pop in your new card and be sure all the Apple Ethernet extensions and the card specific software are installed. Warning: Mac compatible cards cost a bit more than the $5 Windoz cheapies. You'll probably have to pop for the $20 model.

All these years and i've never gotten into networks. Now i want to network my 5000/250 with a 333mhz imac. I have expierence making cat 5 cables, crossover etc. I need advice on pci card, brand, where to get, etc. In searching web i see most, if not all, pci cards require pc os. Even when they specify pc/mac they require windows or linux OS's.
And, of course i need/plan to get expierence in setup. TIA
