The latest thing for my Centris 650 is to connect it to the Internet and set up Eudora 3.0 for my personal email account and using iCab/WannaBe/Netscape Communicator 4.0 for a bit of a chuckle.
The Ethernet port the Centris is connected to is one of two on a TP-Link Powerline system connected to my main router. In the other port I have an eMac happily connected. The Ethernet adapter is flashing with an RX, suggesting that it is connecting okay, but I just cannot get the Centris to recognise the connection!
I have downloaded and installed Open Transport 1.1 (I couldn't get 1.3 to install from the Macintosh Garden download), and am running System 7.5.5 on the Centris. However, when using DHCP within the TCP/IP control panel I am unable to gain any connection. Having tried this all evening, I have now also discovered that in the process of installing OT, it has somehow removed the Chooser from my system, and I have been getting odd hang-ups, with the computer freezing when requested to Shutdown or Restart. I have used my System 7.5.5 update disks which has enabled the system to function, but still with no Chooser, nor now do I have the TCP/IP icon in my Control Panels pane.
Any bright ideas what I have done wrong here?
Cheers,
Simon
