Hi folks;
I have been preoccupied w/connectivity w/o success. Description follows.
In the meantime, taking a page from a previos solution using 'replace'
function (admit I'm ignorant here; just an idea. Havent' gotten to HWR
yet.)
Can you make it substitute a capital "W"?
alternatively:
"I-space-I" inserting an 'upsidedown caret' at the correct level
connecting the 2 I's? (or try the lowercase 'i's w/caret connecting
them)?

I may need to use such ploys: "I'm not a doctor, but I write like one."
Ok. Following the detailed 7-step installation guide for 3Com 589d
ethernet (I think on 'newted'). First try ended w/spontaneous reset.
hmm..tried using it anyway. (not knowing what this meant, since
resetting the machine is mentioned in an alternative procedure. BUT,
spidey-sense didn't like it.) Got 'chooser' error "-16001'. Went to
handy dandy error code lookup. (Thank you) Decided to delete the patch
segment installed after the Farallon driver. (The doc I used indiacates
installing the 3Com 'driver' after the 3Com 'patch'. Don't think this is
possible; search reveals 0 results.) Anyway; deleting the patch proved a
snap. I had had to look for awhile to find that that particular 'how-to'
is covered in the MP2000 -- which someone was kind enough to put up for
download in PDF, I think it was on the Wiki. Thank you.) Anyway,
downloaded a'clean' copy of the patch (since I had had various problems
making these things look like the cute little 'pkg' icons they
should...) Installed. OK! No reset.
Went about 'generic' setup using 'DHCP'. Nada. Decided to go in and
manually enter all info in setup. (various configs; nada) Deleted each;
don't wnat to be confused. OK. This has produced at least one manual
config that will light up the little light on the card dongle, but the
router port light doesn't concur. :(
So, it apprears I"m close here. It seems to mean;
the Newt recognises card (it's listed) I choose the 3Com 'D', rather
than vanilla 3Com, or Farallon, which are also options.
The Newt will 'activate' the card, and send a signal thru the dongle and
ethernet thru to router port. Which is where it seems to stall. I have
had each PB (and both simutaneaously) running NCU. AppleTalk on. Sharing
ON. (OS 9.1 and 9.2.2) Listening 'AppleTalk' (only). An experiment
w/TCP/IP settings nearly blew the WS off the Internet. That would not be
good.Use it download pkgs and, using the 'brilliant' IR install utility.
For some reason the PB 1400c running 9.1 has no 'infrared' control
panel..any ideas why? (I think it had to have had it running OS 9.0 a
month ago before HD zero and reformat/install to 9.1 -- had PB's
connected via IR. Not really functional, but machines DID say hi to each
other at least)
So, if anyone has done a successful manual DHCP connection;
I have the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0
local IP address as 192.168.1.44 (the 44 being 1 below the IP's assigned
the PB's -- 45 and 46 respectively...the ceiling being 47)
gateway/router address is 'default' 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS/Name Server Address is 4.2.2.1
(I'm testing this as I go; notice no dongle light, so need more info)
Anyway...
What is required to enter for
Domain Name?
Is it the router's SSID?
Or, I have named the network 'dsl.verizon.net'?
Or, 192.168.1.1?
I have tried each PB via IR w/NCU. Seems 'unsupported.
So, this MUST work for me to get productive (especially w/bookmaking)
<SMILEY>
Well, it really means I'll have to temper my opinion re: serial/dongle.
BUT, others are using this succesfully, right?
At least, when it fails to find Mac OS computer, Hal tells me;
"I'm sorry Dave"
Lastly, the manual implies the NMP 2k is bookreader able out of the box?
Or, is there something to install?
Cheers
Jack
