This may be a bit advanced and perhaps a bit specific for a question, but
here goes.

We've got a IIx that we're trying to put on thin Ethernet.  We've done this
sort of thing with a bunch of Macs before, with no problemo.  Pop in the
NuBus Ethernet card, pop on the T, install the drivers and walk away.

Well, this time things aren't that simple.  The IIx doesn't hook in to the net.
I can't see printers or servers from it.  I've checked the control panel to
make sure the driver is up (we're on mode 1), and appleTalk is active.  I've
swapped cards, tried other machines at the node, and tried other drivers, so
I'm relatively sure its the machine...or is it that the IIcx needs a different
EtherNet driver?  The tranceiver is onboard, and there are probably a few other
little details I've tried, but I'm so frustrated that I can't remember all of
them right now.

Any suggestions, please EMAIL to me...

Thanks,
Mikey.
