Hi everyone,
lucky me - I got a 3com Etherlink/NB card for my Mac IIci from a kind soul! Finally being able to connecting it to the world! Unfortunately, the latter doesn't seem to work so easily. Here's the trouble:
My TCP/IP settings look like this:
I've tried thus far:
- reseating the card in another Nubus slot
- updating Open Transport from 1.1 -> 1.1.2
- exchanging the AUI to RJ-45 adapter for another one
- installing drivers for the 3com card from here (though the card is supposed to be plug & play with system 7)
The card looks fine from the outside, no visible damage / corrosion.
I'm clueless as to what I could try next. Neither Google nor forums search turned up anything helpful on that generic error message.
Any way I could get a more detailed error reporting?
Anyone else here ran into this trouble or has an idea as to what I might try?

- I installed the card. Connected a AUI <-> RJ-45 adapter at the back. Plugged the RJ-45 ethernet cable of my home network. (tested and it works)
- Booted into System 7.5.3 on the IIci.
- Opening the TCP control panel. Setting connection to "Alternate Ethernet" & "using DHCP server".
- Next opening "Apple Talk". Switching from "Printer Port" to "Alternate Ethernet". And getting this error:
