Nice find this DaynaPORT E/Z!!
I found an small part of the introduction article on the web:
then have a working Ethernet connection! Really great!
I have a DaynaPORT SCSI/LINK 3. This device is connected to the SCSI port. I
works fine, but without DHCP. I use one of the IP addresses of the DHCP range
the router provides which I add manually to the MacTCP control panel. The
range is from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.30, so I use IP addresses like
192.168.1.31, etc. This works fine.
I must admit that I have the same DNS problems a you. Normally I can add the
router as DNS server (192.168.1.1) and computers will have a perfect internet
connection with DNS. This is for Macintoshes with OT, Linux, etc. But not for
MacTCP. Also adding a DNS which the router it self uses doesn't work. Maybe
someone could shed some light over this MacTCP issue?
What I would do in the mean time until this issue is solved in your case is
run some http proxy software on an other machine. If you have a Linux machine
this could be squid. But also for Macintosh and Windows http proxy's are
available. For tlenet to the outside world I also use a port forward program.
This means that I connect with telnet to a machine on the local LAN and this
machine will forward it to the Internet. So... I don't need DNS. I use on my
Plus an external HD with System 7.1
If you would like to run a web server you should get MacHTTP:

If you would like to run a FTP server you should read my topic about NSCA
