Networking LC 475 and Performa 6300CD
Hi All,
I'm having a bit of a problem with networking. Both computers have a PDS ethernet card. I have an Amer.com SD8n Ethernet Switch with 8 ports and one labeled "Uplink".
I am, for now, just trying to connect the LC 475 and the Performa 6300CD through the switch. I upgraded the 475 to System 7.5, and the Performa runs OS 8. I have followed the instructions in the Apple Knowledge base article for file sharing <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106657>, but haven't had any luck connecting them through the Chooser. There is no computer name in the Chooser.
I assume the required Ethernet extensions are installed - Ethernet shows up in the Appletalk control panel. I have the Performa connected to port 1 on the switch and the 475 connected to port 2. Should I have it set up differently, with a computer connected to Uplink?
The green lights are lit on the PDS cards themselves, and the orange lights on the switch are lit. They blink for a while when AppleShare is selected in the Chooser, but they eventually stop and nothing happens.
I have seen the threemacs.com page, but I couldn't connect with those instructions, either.
Any information or relevant links would be greatly appreciated.
