Hello,
I have recently finished restoring my Mac SE/30, and I am now trying to get it to connect to the internet (or at least some FTPs and telnets). I have an Asante MacCon SE 30/E installed, but I cannot seem to get it working.
Currently, I have a standard RJ45 ethernet cable run from the ethernet card into my router. I read here that the auto speed negotiation between the computer and router can get messed up without manual configuration, so I set the speed of the ethernet port on my router to 10 Half-Duplex. Unfortunately, it seems that the router does not recognize the presence of the MacCon card at all. There are no lights on the ethernet port for the router or card, and the router does not register anything plugged into that port from its online configurator.
I am using the default networking extensions that came with System 7.1, and I also have MacTCP 2.1 installed. In terms of MacTCP configuration, I have 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask, the gateway set to my router IP address, the DNS as 8.8.8.8 with a domain of ".", and the IP address set to an unused one on my network. I also made sure to select Ethernet and not LocalTalk in MacTCP.
When I try to connect to anything online, I get errors about an unresolved hostname, or the computer says that MacTCP is not working (I have reinstalled it several times to no avail). Furthermore, my router does not seem to register at all that I have plugged an SE/30 into it. I am not certain that the ethernet card is working at all as I have never seen its LED light up. :/ At the very least, I was able to see that the computer recognizes it in TattleTech.
Any help in setting this up would be greatly appreciated!
