Ok, I understand. Thanks for the info!

But I certainly can connect to an OS X machine when typing its IP in the Chooser. Isn't that the same? Click to expand... No. When you enter an IP address in the Chooser, you …

Does the new model AirPort Extereme route AppleTalk packets over the wireless interface? Click to expand... That's a good question. It certainly does over ethernet, since my ol…

Does the new model AirPort Extereme route AppleTalk packets over the wireless interface? Peace, Drew

Ok, strange. I can ping every machine in my network (wifi and wired) from the Pismo in wifi, and I can ping the Pismo from my MBP (in wifi too) and from other OS 9 wired machines.…

What are the IP addresses on your network? Click to expand... 192.168.1.x Are they both within the same subnet? Click to expand... Yes. Can you ping the machi…

What are the IP addresses on your network? Are they both within the same subnet? Can you ping the machines in question?

Ok, thanks to all you guys, it finally works. I fired up my orange iBook just to be sure, and it worked just as expected on wifi. So I knew it was software-related on the Pismo, an…

Ok, I took time today to look at that.I installed Airport Software 2.0.4 (I had 1.2 installed, that came with OS 9.2.2). Now it kinda works better: I can connect to my network usin…

Sometimes it can be quirky. So some restarts. Make sure TCP/IP is set to your WAVELAN card, and that you are connecting via DCHP. Set AppleTalk to infrared just to mitigate any …

I should correct the above: this is a 802.11b card, not g.

Hadn't time to start up the Pismo last week. But I bet it'll will work with the latest Airport software, as said by freundling. I'll let you know!

Hi: Yes, the card I used works under Classic Mac, even with Apple's stock Airport software. It even does 128 bit encryption under OS 9.x.x How did I find it? I looked and resea…

What? You found an 11b/11g card that works in OS 9? As far as I know, the Agere/Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco/WhoeverTheyAreToday chipset is 11b only. Apple moved to a Broadcom chipset f…

So, did you get it fixed? If so, what fixed it? Peace, Drew

The wifi card will work under OS X, and it is 802.11g - it's an OEM Orinoco, a generic version of Apple's Airport Card used in their laptops. I have also installed the wifi into a…

I use FreeDOS for my DOS software like GEM.

You're probably right. I have an 8.1 CD, but not one for plain old 8.

A beige G3 is 8.1 and above isn't it?

I downloaded PCSetup 1.6.4, then updated it to 2.1.7. I think the oldest MacOS that will run on the beastie is 8.

Could possibly be an OS issue (I think this card came out when OS 7.5.3 was current and HFS was normal). Did you go to Apples website and download the latest software for that setu…

It is currently set for 1023MB. Both drives are formatted as HFS Extended.

Check both drives for bad sectors. How big are you making those virtual drives?

wackymacs, is your server located in a residential area? I can't seem to download from it any faster than 10 to 20 kilobytes per second. The mirror is no better; it started at roug…
