[NTLK] ethernet woes

[William James]

Hi, I've been on here for sometime, and have never chimed in. Recently I have been trying to get my PowerBook 1400 up and running with the Orinoco Gold card. Like the latter Newts, it will only accept a 16 bit card. It ran perfectly before our recent move to a small very rural town. When we first moved here, I had to have them switch out the wireless router for one that was WEP capable. 

That worked for two weeks, then no dice, no connection for my PB 1400 or my Messagepad 2100 and eMate. I replaced iCab on the PowerBook with Classilla, it took 2 hours of playing around in the preferences, but it is now finally working. I switched the ISP server connect from the default 1.1 to 1.0, and on the proxy as well. Still no luck with the Newts. 

I am a complete novice on this, which makes me embarrassed to post (even though I have been using Newts since 1994), but can it be that the internet connect package on the 2000/2100/emate, is just not capable to cope with newer ISP servers?

Will

Hi!

In my case, I had problem with WiFi cards. What helped me: I just create new internet setup settings and I swapped card for second. I know this last is strange but it works ;)

Another thing: If you don’t use WiFi, try delete WiFi drivers pkg. And delete unused drivers pkg.’s for other LAN card. Sometimes it make problems.

But recently i have been unable to get any of them to “engage” properly. When i use the connect sheet, the loading screen appears, the light briefly appear on the card connector, then goes out. Meanwhile, the loading bar completes and thinks it has succeeded (I use a static IP for my connection setting). But when an application tries to get any data, i get an error (i forget which one, for share, maybe error (2)?).
