TOPIC

I have a Power Macintosh 5400/120 computer which comes with the Apple CS II Ethernet card pre-installed. Using the Network Software Selector, I have switched from Open Transport to Classic AppleTalk. However, the Network control panel does not have an option to switch to EtherTalk. I checked the Extensions folder and the Apple Ethernet CS II extension is installed. How do I switch to EtherTalk?

DISCUSSION

The Apple Ethernet CS II card and software only function under Open Transport. Under Classic AppleTalk, the Power Macintosh 5400/120 cannot switch to Ethertalk. To connect to an Ethernet network using the Apple Ethernet CS II card and the Power Macintosh 5400/120, you must switch to Open Transport, restart the computer, and then use the AppleTalk control panel to switch to Ethernet.The Famous Apple!
