We are setting up a new IIfx and were trying to get it connected to our
site Ethernet. No matter what I do, no connections can be made with the
outside world. Telnet says the connection could not be completed and
states that the gateway or host is not responding. The ethernet hardware
is the Apple Ethertalk NB and the drivers and other software is
from the installer disk and Telnet 2.3.
The board/software works fine in another Mac IIx that we have and the
connection to our ethernet was also tested with another computer and it
worked fine also. The only think left is a compatibility problem between the
EtherTalk NB and the MacIIfx. No diagnostic software was supplied with
the Apple board so I'm only guessing.
Has anyone gotten this same combination of hardware to work? Is there
some update that is required to make this board run on a IIfx? Any information
would be appreciated--our dealer doesn't know what Ethernet is. Any
recommendations for software that with test Ethernet connections from the
Mac side would also be appreciated.
