I've got a Classic II running 7.5.5 and MacTCP 2.1. I've also got an AsanteTalk adapter that appears to work. When it's plugged into a switch, the RX light flashes, as does the activity light on the switch port it's plugged into.
Maybe I'm completely misreading what MacTCP does, but shouldn't it allow for connecting to a TCP/IP network over the physical LocalTalk port? If this is the case, what do I need to do in order to get things working? I downloaded MacTCP Ping. Running it would bring up an error about the MacTCP driver, although version 2.1 seems to have fixed this problem. I can't ping anything on my network with that application, and I can't ping the IP that MacTCP claims to have.
Am I right about the AsanteTalk? Can it give me TCP capability over the LocalTalk port on my Classic II?
I can't try using OpenTransport until I find some more RAM for this thing - it's only got 4MB physical at the moment.
