I have tested the setup also with the LocalTalk Bridge control panel. It really works fine!

You can download it at the Apple web site:

Now the setup becomes even more simple. You only need a somewhat modern Mac ( Quadra/ LC, etc) with Ethernet. No more need for LocalTalk bridging hardware.

I my setup I'm running the LocalTalk bridge on a networked Quadra 800. My PowerBook 100 is connected over the printer port to the printer port of the Quadra 800. Just put the control panel on its place (Control panel map in system map of the Quadra...) and be sure that the control panel is: On and Network Access: public

Your AppleTalk control panel has to be on EtherTalk. TCP settings stay the same as with LocalTalk hardware bridge 172.16.2.2 as IP address and 172.16.2.1 as gateway and DNS.
