Quick network Question

Author	Topic
mac-man6 Junior Member Canada 217 Posts	Posted - 06 Jun 2003 : 12:16:47 I have an Asanté MCiLC ethernet card in LC 575, 475 or Performa 5200. I have a crossover ethernet cable and I set up the computer so that anyone should be able to log into 575 and 5200 but I can't get it to work. At first I tried connecting the 5200 to my CRT iMac, then the 575 to the CRT iMac and then 575 over to 5200. I had to switch the appletalk settings to 'printer port' and now the 575 to the 5200 networked. Both computers recognize the cards are installed so I'm not sure what's happening. I've got a new crossover cable. Could it be that the batteries are dead?. Also, are the cards supposed to cover the whole LC PDS slot?, these only cover the longest segment but not the whole slot. Thanks.

If things are working, then any computer with File Sharing turned on should appear in Apple Share under Chooser (even if the login permissions are restrictive). If you turn File Sharing on for the iMac, does the iMac appear on Chooser of the other Macs?

~tl Junior Member United Kingdom 312 Posts	Posted - 10 Jun 2003 : 12:51:45 oh ... and it should only cover the first part of the slot ... the second part is just an extra bit for some later cards (the LC and LC II doesent have the extra bit) Orcadian MLA Division 68ks Liberated: 2
mac-man6 Junior Member Canada 217 Posts	Posted - 30 Jun 2003 : 13:08:55 What are the chances that this a battery related issue?. Both computers recognize in appletalk that ethernet is available.

I have an old LCIII with a dead PRAM battery. Because I use the machine so infrequently I have not replaced the battery. Instead I put an alias to some crucial control panels in the Startup Items of the SYstem Folder. Thus, when I do use the machine, the first thing it asks for are the settings that it forgot.

G4from128k Full Member USA 873 Posts	Posted - 01 Jul 2003 : 04:16:48 OK, I can see the need for a battery for headless ops. But I wonder if there is some little utility (or even an Applescript) that would save a copy the latest PRAM settings to disk during shut-down and then reload those settings at startup? It could even reset the clock if it had access to a network.

Although it requires a restart after it writes it, so I not sure if once a mac is powered up on AC if it will "remember" things even if PRAM is dead. There are still 68k Versions out there.
