Re: [NTLK] This is a real puzzler!

First of all - thanks to you guys for the help so far!

Marco's right, the LED lights and then goes off at the instant of
making a connection. Alas, my dock doesn't have the options talked
about and I don't use NCU or Package Loader (iMac G5 + Tiger so I use
NewTen and nSync. through a serial setup).

I only have the one ethernet card (so far) the other slot is a 20Mb
storage card.

Today I've tried Rurish's suggestion twice. Plus - Moved the card to
the other slot. Reset the Newton, deactivated Freeze Utilities, and
cleared out unused prefs.

I tried changing the disconnect delay but that doesn't seem to have
any effect. However, when it isn't working (i.e. no lights) and has
finished trying, if I go to close it through the blinking star the
message is that I am still connected to the internet. Saying yes to
closing brings up the disconnection routine. This seems to me to
indicate that it is possibly a Newt/router conflict but I have no
idea how to get the DG384G to recognise the Newt consistently

I don't think it's a dodgy electrical connection as I am not touching
or moving anything other than the stylus between working and non-
working events.

Oh - it's been misbehaving itself again all through this! On/off
can't make up its mind!

And just as I type the above I try to send a note through SHCP
and..... it worked but when it wnt to receive it came up with a
message - "Unknown Newton Error at OC44CFE8" but it's still
connected. And also at OC406044.

All this makes me even more determined to get the thing working!

Keep the ideas coming guys!

Brian
