Robert-
I'm puzzled, why did you buy a separate ethernet board for the PPC 8100
when it has ethernet built-in? It uses an AAUI adapter which just needs
an AAUI to 10BaseT converter. Anyway, what appears to be going on is
that you are connecting with AppleTalk to the INTERNAL connector in your
8100 and not the Farallon board you installed. If the appropriate
drivers for the Farallon board were properly installed in the extensions
folder, there should appear in the AppleTalk control panel a separate
Farallon ethernet selection that is distinct from the ethernet selection
built-in. Choose this and you should be able to communicate.
