I just received MacX v1.1 and installed it on my MacIIcx which is on the Internet via a EtherTalk board. For the life of me I cannot get this stuff to work. The manual is poor and incomplete and doesn't describe half of what is needed to get MacX going. I need help and Apple says they don't provide direct support. Anybody got any ideas on what MacX/me are doing wrong? I've got plenty of Xclient machines to log into and none of them work. *********************************************************************** Scott P.

Indeed, it was so basic that I skipped most of the installation pages the first time around. I only had to look a bit closer when we decided to use bootp (just for the right button). Please elaborate - perhaps by mail if you wish, and summarise to the net afterwards in case others are interested.
