Hi guys,
Okay, so I've gotten my beloved old Color Classic up and running with a Color Classic II (Performa 275?) motherboard, 36 megs of RAM, and System 7.5.3 (it's what came on the internal drive). So far, so good, but of course, I want to get her online. I bought an "Apple Ethernet LC
Twisted-Pair Card" from a gigantic online auction site (ahem), and after much frustration, anger, negative feedback and PayPal investigations on my part, the seller finally shipped the card, nearly a month since I bought it.
Anyway, I just installed the card onto the mobo and so far, so good (the little green light comes on when I connect it to my router), but I'm having some trouble with the software setup. When I go to the TCP/IP Control Panel, in the "Connect Via:" menu, I only have the choice of "AppleTalk (MacIP)" or "MacPPP", and there's no entry for Ethernet like I was expecting.
Am I missing a driver or extension or something? Any hints would be great!
Thanks,
Huxley
