[QUOTE="Papalapa, post: 1802564, member: 400766"] I'm trying to connect my Macintosh LCII to the ethernet home network but I do not know how. It has a Farallon Ethernet network card installed and I also installed the Open Transport 1.3 software. I connected an RJ45 ethernet cable from the Mac to the router but this one do not "sees" the Mac. On the cabled connections monitor of the router the Mac is not shown although the cable is good and the light on the back of the network card of the Mac is turned on. I also ran the Diagnostic Farallon program and is shows OK in all the fields so, it seems that both, cable and network card are correctly working. The configuration on the TCP/IP extension panel in the Mac was initally set "IP direction assigned by DHCP" but later I manually entered the IP, gateway, DNS, etc.. unsuccesfully. Then I tried to connected the Macintosh to my iMac sharing Internet instead of use the router but I have had the same problem, the iMac doesn't sees the Mac. Trying to use AppleTalk instead of TCP/IP I discovered that AppleTalk support was removed from MacOS 10.6 and my old iMac has Snow Leopard 10.6.8, so bad luck :Shouting: What can I do to connect the Macintosh LCII to the router or even to the iMac? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
