After much hacking, and perusing a few sites (Jags House, Old Macintosh System Software and TCP/IP and Classic Mac Networking) I've managed to get my Mac Plus up on the internet, kinda.
An odd thing though: I can ping other computers on my LAN, and even outside of my LAN (e.g. google.com), but computers on my LAN are unable to ping the Mac Plus itself. The Mac Plus also can't ping itself. I can do other activities such as connecting to FTP sites with Fetch without issue though.
I thought that ping responses were built into standard TCP/IP implementations.
Any ideas?

System info:
- Mac Plus, 4MB RAM
- System 6.0.8
- MacTCP 2.0.6 (I copied the MacTCP control panel directly into the System folder)
- Apple Network Software Installer 1.4.4 (used 1.4.4 because I could not find a 1.4.5 installer disc that would fit on an 800k floppy)
- Asante Mini EN/SC adapter
- Everything is running off of a Zip 100 drive
Thanks,
