Hi folks...

The analog board for my color classic came back after a recap, and I
have re assembled my color classic.  It appears to work just great.  I
am running 7.5.3 on a Color Classic II logic board.

I bought a Lan card and it came with software from Farallon.  I
installed the card, plugged in a ethernet cable (going to my router)
and booted.  I installed the Farallon software (V2.3).  After that I
rebooted.  I ran the test program that came with the Farallon card,
and all tests came out OK.

I have a 10 disk set of software called "Apple Internet Connection
Kit".  I installed that next.  It has a program in it that will test
your internet connection.  However the program seems to only look for
a modem, not my ethernet card.  I am unable to find a way to make it
switch looking for a modem, but look for my Lan card.

I went to control panel, and found the Network icon.  It was set to
"Local Talk Built in", and I switched it to "Ethertalk".  But that did
not help anything.  When I launch Netscape 3.0, it keeps looking for a
modem.

I do have the software to upgrade from 7.5.3 to 7.5.5, but I have yet
to install it.

Can any one give me any tips on how to get on the internet?

Thanks

jack
