After finally receiving my ethernet card the other day, I installed it, the EtherTalk (2.0.1) driver and changed my IP address in AdminTCP. I had been using MacTCP through a Gatorbox, but now I'm ethernetted to the same subnet that the Gatorbox is on. I don't have access to any LocalTalk services (public folder, appleshare) when the EtherTalk icon is selected in the Network cdev (the chooser doesn't show any zones). I read the manual (don't tell anyone :-), which says that "If internet routers are present on your network and you have not previously selected a zone in which your Macintosh II can reside, you will be asked to choose an AppleTalk zone at this time (if your network has been set up to allow you to choose one)." I've never been asked what zone I want to be in. What am I missing? System: Mac IIci, 20M RAM, 80M internal HD, cache card, ethernet card, 6.0.7+inits. Thanks for any info, Lee Fyock laf@mitre.org P.S. Is there any fix for the bug that occurs when you type "out" or "logout" too quickly and the t kind of jams on the ci?

After playing around for quite a while with both the Gatorbox and the different EtherTalk drivers, I finally hit upon a combination that gives me both MacTCP access and LocalTalk access. The only problem left is that the zone I "live in" isn't the one I want. When I pull up the chooser, I'm in the zone that used to be in the "Phase I EtherTalk" zone box in Gatorkeeper. I've changed it, restarted the Gatorbox, copied over the config files to all of the box's download sites, etc., to no avail. This isn't crucial, but it's annoying to have others try to find my public folder in a different zone than the one I should be in. Any ideas? Thanks for the mail and help!

We've found that the EtherTalk icon only needs to be selected at startup, after which you can select the Built-in for LocalTalk access. It's a pain to remember to re-select EtherTalk before shutting down or restarting, but we're working on that. -- -- Sue -- ========================================================================= Sue Klefstad Ill.
