Control panel for selecting Network type in 6.0.8?
Posted by: LaPorta on 2020-07-27 07:14:46
Anyone know how to switch between Regular Printer Port and Ethernet in 6.0.8? There's the Network control panel in 7.1, but what is the equivalent in 6.0.8?

I think (and I'm going by memory here, so I may be wrong) the driver installers for Ethernet cards tend to drop the same (or a very similar) Network control panel into the System Folder.  It's part of AppleTalk updates, I think.

That is what I would have figured. The one included on the Asante disk freezes the machine when accessed from the Control Panel (not surprised since it's a System 7 control panel). I'll look around for something then.

You will probably also need to update AppleTalk to use it.  Grab a copy of the Network Software Installer disk and try installing that before the Asante drivers?

LaPorta, are you running AppleTalk Phase II?
