Wow, quite a lot to absorb.
1) I will ONLY work on the Powerbook 145 connectivity problems right now. My Plus is a "future" project.
2) a) The MINI EN/SC-10T SCSI address is physically set to '2', NOT '6'. There is a Dial inset where one can observe the setting. I must assume that the dial is correct as there is no evidence of damage or tampering.
2) B) Its MAC address is 00:00:94:5C:9E:62
3) Details for the Linksys EW5HUB network HUB connected to the MINI ENSC 10T can be found at:
http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/ew5hub/
It is a dedicated 10 Base-T network HUB.
4) Information on the DGS-1005D 5-port Gigabit Desktop Switch I have purchased can be found at: http://www.dlink.ca/products/?model=DGS-1005D
5) To the best of my knowledge, I am using "standard" CAT-5 Cables to connect into RJ45 slots between Router, Switch, Hub, EN/SC. Please inform me there is a simple method to determine IF a cable is of type "cross-over".
6) on my Airport Extreme Router (192.168.1.1), in the "Internet>DHCP>DHCP RESERVATIONS" sub-panel, I have reserved the address 192.168.1.100 for the PB145.
7) Physical order of peripherals and computer are as follows:
a)Modem
b)Airport Extreme Router
c)DGS-1005D 5-port Gigabit Desktop Switch
d)Linksys EW5HUB 10 Base-T network hub
e)Asanté EN/SC-10T (For the next month, Images of the device can be viewed at www.rriere.ca/ENSC10T.html , if they're not up its because I'm using the G3 in System 9 mode... they'll be back up.)
7) The EN/SC is the last device on the SCSI Chain and I'll assume that that it is internally terminated as I can throw the switch to have the "TERMINATION" LED on the top-side of the unit to illuminate.
On MacTCP 2.0.6 the configuration is as follows:
"Manually"
Class "C"
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Routing information: 192.168.1.1
Domain Name Server Info: ".", 64.59.184.13 (default); "." 64.59.184.15.
MacTCP manually entered IP on PB145 corresponds to 192.168.1.100.
ENSC MAC Address obtained by holding down option when clicking MacTCP's "Built In Ethernet" pane corresponds to: 00:00:94:5C:9E:62
8) I am using a program called "MacTCP Ping" to ping from 192.168.1.100 out to 192.168.1.1
I am pinging from 192.168.1.199 (MBPro 10.4.11) via wireless and 192.168.1.200 (G3Bronze OS X 10.3.9) connected to switch (not hub) to attempt to access 192.168.1.100. Each recognize 192.168.1.1.
9) PB145 has System 7.1 Installed. 4 mb of ram. (I can possibly upgrade to System 7.5.5 to duplicate LEOGRAPHIX's sytem.
10) For this experiment NO EXTERNAL DRIVE IS CONNECTED. I only use it to transfer program files to the PB145's internal HD (SCSI "0").
If You "Leographix" are willing to deconstruct your system to aid me in constructing mine... I say Great. I can mimick your steps... this will just take some time.
