Is this your problem, Eurogarth?
A few things... make sure that your 700 is hooked up to an *active* ethernet
port before you power up.
So, what is the 700 connected to? Another Mac? A hub? A printer? A cable
modem?
If it's a hub: you should see a light on the hub indicating an active
computer at that port.
If it's a Mac: make sure that the other Mac is powered on, and has ethernet
active, before you turn on the 700. You then have to tell the 700 to use
ethernet for TCP/IP or AppleTalk (I can't check what control panels normally
say since the B&W G3 *only* has ethernet as a conduit to the outside world).
Plus, you of course need to use a cross-over cable in this case (unless
you're hooking up to a brand spanking new Titanium... they have
auto-negotiation for ethernet).
A printer. Same deal. Have it turned on first.
Good luck.
Are you using the right cables? Patch/crossover/direct/whatever?
L8r, Eric.
