Nice find this DaynaPORT E/Z!!

I found an small part of the introduction article on the web:

Dayna Communications has announced an Ethernet adapter for "slotless"

Macintoshes (Plus, Classic, Portable) and single-slot Macs (SE, LC, IIsi) that

already have a card occupying their slot, Called the DaynaPort E/Z, it

connects to the Mac's printer port. Protocols supported include Ethertalk,

TCP/IP, DecNet and OSI.
I understand that you connect this device to the printer port and that you

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:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/machttp/

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

Telnet FTP server.

If you would like to run a Telnet / Chat server you could try OT Chat
