Scenario:
A Macintosh LC is to be connected to a home network via a Daynaport E / Z for printing to a Postscript printer & FTP / Gopher access. OpenTransport is no option since it requires a (fast) 68030, so we’re having to use MacTCP 2.06.
Available Hardware:
Software:
What has been done:
On the OS side:
I’m using Google’s Public DNS service here (IP: 8.8.8.8).
As Gateway address I've put in my router. (surprise, eh? )
The IP-address for the LC was just an unused one randomly chosen by me.
MacTCP 2.06 has LocalTalk activated.
Problem:
It’s not working.
Ok, ok … just kidding using MacTCP Watcher for debugging. It immediately reports a DNS lookup problem when starting but I figure that might just be a generic error. When trying to ping e.g. my DSL router I lose all packages, so something with the connection setup isn’t right. I have, however, no more idea of what I could do and am turning to ya’ll for help.
I've tried to connect to my the LC from my Power Mac G4 via Chooser / IP address but it get me a time-out.
Anyone got any idea what I’m missing here - or even happens to be a fellow E / Z user? (the later seem very rare these days)
Any help appreciated!

Available Hardware:
- Macintosh LC with 10MB RAM running System 7.1
- Daynaport E/Z (unfortunately no manual or docs :-/ )
- RJ45 ethernet cable coming from a switch (which is fed from the DSL router)
Software:
- This Daynaport Installer has been run (installing E / Z drivers 1.3.3 according to the readme)
- MacTCP 2.06 is installed
- AppleTalk 58.1.4 is installed
- LocalTalk 58.2.2 is installed
What has been done:
- The E/Z is connected via serial cable to the printer port of the LC.
- The E/Z has a twisted pair transceiver plugged in that has the RJ45 cable in.
- Both the transceivers lights and the Daynaport’s are lit, assuming the units work.
On the OS side:
- AppleTalk in Chooser is activated
- MacTCP is configured as the following:
