Mac Plus Address Error only with Networking programs??

Hello, I got a Mac plus, 4mb Motorola ram, very clean unit with no visual board damage. I reflowed any suspicious solder joints and never had an issue with the unit. I notice when opening network based programs such as Mac TCP or TCP ping even Mac WWW or even the network tab on the control panel I get the address error, the Ethernet to scsi adaptor driver in the control panel works though. I got a BlueSCSI and have been trying to get on the web, be can’t do much with the error. I prior to the bluescsi this was a issue so I don’t believe it’s the bluescsi. What could this be?

I vaguely remember encountering a similar issue when doing this years ago…

Is everything terminated properly?

And you have MacWWW working? I could never get it to run at least not on system 7.

I couldn’t get MacWWW working, it will load into the start screen then when you click it will bomb address error. My first thought was something hardware wise was bad, as in when clicking on macwww it’s trying to enable some hardware that failed. I believe an address error is ram related, I ran snooper with all ram tests and it checked out fine. It has 4 sticks of some vintage Motorola ram for 1mb, all sticks are identical, no mismatched sticks.
