The skills acquired are more useful too.
I have a LinkSys Cable Router setup as a DHCP server. On my newer Macs, I setup TCP/IP to use the DCHP server, but on my SE w/ Ethernet I have MacTCP setup as a static IP address 192.168.1.1. I just told the router to start doling out addresses beginning at X.X.X.51. It works fine. One thing, though I only get download speeds of about 2KB/Sec with Fetch 2.1.2 on the SE. Anyone have an idea why it's so slow? My other 10Base-T ethernet equipped machines average 50-60KB/s downloads. > (A knowledge about > DSL and cable routers will be obsolete in a matter of months.
