How can I set the TCP control panel in advanced/administrator mode?  Anyway, I've always started Netscape and IE to check for connectivity since the control panel may wrongly show that no IP was assigned yet. My goal is to fetch files from my Synology NAS (where I've set an Appleshare share...

Still no luck, but I think we're making some progress ... To launch Booter, I did have to troubleshoot the "not enough free memory" error I was getting (10MB did the trick). As you can see, the network card is indeed recognized ...   But it hangs after printing "adb0" (I guess 20 minutes...

I still didn't manage to make Ethernet work on OS 8.1.  Tried a SCSI2SD card image with AS/X but I can't manage to boot from it. Meanwhile I've managed to plug the Performa's SCSI CD drive to the Quadra, so I might eventually try an AS/X or Debian installation from CD. @johnklos can you please...

Indeed!:) 

TechTool Pro 3.0.6 and MacTest Pro software tests pass for the network controller and network ROM, however it says that no compatible network card was found, so "no tests performed". It does seem to detect the Sonic network chip (or just mentions it because it knows it's running on a...

I've tried connecting the Quadra to an older router, thinking that the AC5300 doesn't like the 10mbps half-duplex of the built-in ethernet, but the result was the same. Physical inspection of the plugs and cables wasn't conclusive, as they all look damage free.

Hi. I get an error saying that Ethernet is unavailable.

TattleTech was useful. Ethernet not running. Not even a Mac Address.

So it shouldn't be necessary to acquire an IP or for the router to detect its Mac address. This isn't happening.  So you know of any software that does some diagnostics to the network port? I'll try TattleTech, but I'm guessing it only retrieves the info provided by the OS. I'm also reading...

When I configured the printer, it asked me to make Appletalk inactive. Do I need Appletalk to access an afp share? And for internet access? Thanks.

Appletalk inactive. 

Still no luck. Did a full install of OS 8.1 with all options I could find enabled. Extensions in the attached screenshots. Thanks in dadvance.

Yes. Didn't solve anything.

I had done a SImple Install of OS8.1, which doesn't include by default the LW 300 drivers. After a customized install, where I also chose the LW300 drivers, the printer is working once again 

Sorted out the LW300. Indeed, the drivers were in the OS installation image, although a "Simple Install" doesn't include them by default. I did a custom install, ticking pretty much everything that didn't mention PPC or Appletalk and found the LW300 drivers. Almost 30 years later, the LW 300 is...
