I have a road apple PowerMac 5460 I use as my central file server between Basilisk II and my localtalk machines. Since it has ethernet.

Well for some strange reason, if i select Ethernet as my appletalk source the whole thing locks up. no mouse movement or anything. So i force reboot with the 3 finger solute. Same thing during startup. I have to boot into extensions disabled and blow the prefs file for it to boot again.

Any ideas? Selecting Ethernet and DHCP in TCP/IP isnt causing a freeze. This is mac os 8.1
