[comp.sys.mac.comm] Does anybody have this configuration?

fosler@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (John Eric Fosler) (06/15/91)

We've got a computer with the following configuration which, for the life of
us, we can't get to work.  Has anyone with this configuration gotten this to
work?

Mac IIx
System 7
LocalTalk
Gatorbox
Dynamic Addressing
Mac TCP 1.0.2
NCSA Telnet 2.3 & 2.4

Our problems originated when we upgraded to system 7 (surprise!), and we 
followed the general net wisdom of putting MacTCP in the System Folder
with the alias to the Control Panels folder.  What's even stranger is that
a System 6.0.7 floppy boot results in the same problem now (although the
entire system worked before under 6.0.x).  We've rebuilt the system from
ground up, and removed extensions galore.  

Thanks for all your help,
Eric

I had an SE/30 (a IIx without the slots) running something like this combo.
Except I was using "Server" addressing, not "Dynamic"; Apple uses "Dynamic"
to mean "Random", and uses "Server" for what everybody else calls "Dynamic".

Try "Server", and see if the problem goes away.

Now, an identical setup with a Plus instead of an SE/30 is really bad news
for me performance-wise (though it does work, sort of).
