I've recently ran across a alternate firmware for routers called ddwrt. This provides many many more options for configuration including the ability to force 10mbit connections on a specific port. I have a old router with this installed if you are interested or just Google ddwrt and there's tons of info on the software,supported devices,etc. I have a wrt54g working with it and a newer router as well On Nov 10, 2010 7:42 PM, "hartonj" <[email protected]> wrote: > You can get/have Open Transport on 7.5.5 according to wiki ( > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Transport, can't remember if it's > available as default or need installing), but MacTCP is a little > easier to work with if I recall.

I figured I would get it on my network and use it as an IRC channel bot. For some odd reason, I can ping the other machines on my network, and ping the AT&T name servers FROM the LC, but I can't ping the LC from any other machine, nor will Appleshare networking work with my OS 9 Pismo (neither machine shows up in their respective Choosers) or connect via IP from the Pismo. The LC is running System 7.5.5, with MacTCP as the networking software (I can't use Open Transport on this machine). All of my machines are connected through a Netgear DSL modem/router, and the LC shows up in my router "Connected Devices" window. My MacTCP settings are all manual, with 192.168.0.9 set as the LC's IP address, Class C settings, AT&T's name servers and my router gateway address (192.168.0.1) as the name server settings, and 255.255.255.0 for the network mask, which matches my router setting. >> >> >> Any ideas as to what could be stopping the LC from being seen by the other machines? >> >> > "For the ping to succeed you must first start up some Internet application on the Mac." >> >> > MacTCP and related Macintosh software >> >http://www.math.niu.edu/~behr/docs/mactcp.html >> >> > MacTCP is implemented as a driver, and it sounds like it won't do anything unless an application has the driver open.

Any device packaged for consumer use will ship supporting DHCP clients; manually-configured clients might have to be explicitly enabled. MacTCP doesn't support DHCP at all, so you'll have to stick with manual. Make sure that MacTCP is set to use Ethernet, not EtherTalk. The latter is some kind of encapsulation; you don't want it. >> >> > Make sure that AppleTalk is enabled in the Chooser and that the Network control panel is set to EtherTalk, not LocalTalk. Be warned that if you boot up without a network connected, Mac OS will helpfully switch AppleTalk to the Printer Port. (At least, Open Transport does that.) >> >> > I hope that helps. >> >> Thanks for your suggestions. Everything you've mentioned has been done, with the exception of double-checking my router for manual configuration.
