The pc can ping itself and the Mac and cable can ping another Mac. The pc ether card (NE2000) is recognized at boot and ndb/local has the same ether id and specifies an ip address, 135.104.117.31. /rc/bin/termrc contains these lines: if(! test -e /net/ipifc/0/ctl) ip/ipconfig -D ether /net/ether0 135.104.117.31 255.255.255.0 >/dev/null >[2=1] What am I missing, please? Also, assuming I get by this snag, I hope to do ssh logins and ftp transfers, and after I get a compiler for the Mac, install 9fs in the Mac. Is it best to get the compiler from Apple? Or, should I be considering VM ware..or? Thanks, -Tom
