Hi!, i have a huge problem, i have got a "PowerBook Duo 270c" mac from scool, just the hardware not the software...

My problem is the network, i don't have a clue how to make it work.. i have installed MacOS 7.5.5 on the computer via Floppydisks and OpenTransport 1.1.2,

The "network-card" is a "Dayna Pocket SCSI/LINK"-adapter,
http://fanskapet.skrubben.mine.nu/images/network.jpg <--- the adapter

i think i have inserted it in the right port..

i can't find any drivers for it... it seems like Intel have bought up the company that was making those network-cards.. please help me!

You only have it half hooked up it looks like.

Now, I've never use done of those, but to me it looks like the SCSI/Ethernet adapter is drawing power over the ADB (that's kinda cool.. no AC adapter needed)...

But you need to connect a SCSI cable from the Ethernet Adapter to the SCSI port on the Minidock.

I assume you edited it out of your post, because your description of the setup is spot on!

Just let me know how it works!
You DO have the SCSI cable to link the NIC to the MiniDock don't you?
I didn't see it in the piccie, you'll definitely need it like marchie said.

. . . and welcome to the MLA!

Yep. i got the SCSI cord plugged in.. well.. i got the "networking" part to work.. the computer reaches the network becouse i can use the "sendEcho" diagnostics application that was included in the driverpackage, when i use the "Lookup again" function, the app lists
--------
Device:|
--------
Babar
Epson
--------

Babar is my DHCP server in the network and Epson is the network printer that's plugged in the Win2k server "Babar".

so he reaches the network now.. but i can't get a IP, not manual configuration of DHCP, nothing works.. have tried to lurking around in both "MacOS-classic-networking" and '"OpenTransport 1.1.2"

realy strange.
