There are also software routers and MacIP gateways, like the old "Apple Internet Router" that you can run on a second, ethernet capable Mac to do this - but you don't really want to be running a second Mac just to hook a Mac Plus up to the 'net.

Well why not, my PB is next to the Plus so it could perfectly do that... Is there any MacIP software for Leopard I could install on it ?

[EDIT] Your domain setup in MacTCP looks a bit weird too. Under the "Domain Name Server" column, the "Domain" text boxes have your domain name ("68kmla.org" or whatever) on the left and the DNS server IP on the right. I'm pretty rusty on this stuff now, but I think it was conventional to have at least one entry with the domain name "." (just a period) to represent all domains other than your own.

I've tried that too, in fact in the screen capture you can see that the "default" setting is like you say.
