I'm guessing by hooking it up to your router, you wish to get it online. This will obviously be easier once you get your mouse (  ), but basically if you have DSL you should be able to go into TCP/IP (located in the Control Panels) and select the ethernet card. Then select Using DHCP Server in the Configure menu. Close out, save settings, and you should be able to connect (provided that you have a browser). Hope that helps.  Pierre Films :idea:

Apple PCI Ether-card? Edit: Is that what it says on the card? What options do you have in the "Connect via:" drop down menu near the top of the TCP/IP control panel window? If you have a PCI ethernet card, one of the options should be "Ethernet" of some sort, possibly followed by "slot 0B" or something similar.

my solution is this: go and buy a REALTEK ethernet card (8139x) where x is any letter (mine is D). But wait, you might wonder, "this mac wont see a realtek card" my solution: A realtek driver.... I've been using it for three years without a hitch, daily almost... works great in 7.6.1 i'll upload it to my server tonight. b

Quote from: "bd1308" my solution is this: How is that specific card, and only that specific card, a solution? I'm sure theres nothing wrong with the card he/she has now, he/she just has to be sure of what it is first by opening the computer and looking at it.

You didn't specify whether or not the card shows up in the TCP/IP control panel.

I wanna know the answer to this form. I just installed an Apple PCI Ethernet Card to my Powerpc 6500. I opened Apple Menu/ TCP/IP / but my Connect via: Apple Talk (MacIP) is my only option. I don't know how to get it to connect via: Ethernet. Also my Configure options are only: Using MacIP Server and Manually. I think it's due to my OS 7.5.5. Do I need to install a higher OS? I am thinking of buying the highest that my computer can take, 9.1. IF not, what are my options and how can I Connect via Ethernet?

It should work fine with the OS version you have now. You'll need to install Apple Ethernet Drivers; if the computer didn't have an ethernet card when the system software was installed, then it wouldn't have installed the drivers. Try installing this. That is the Apple Built-In Ethernet extension, it should give you access to any Apple ethernet card from that era. I actually wasn't even aware there was an Apple-branded PCI ethernet card. Download it, unstuff it, and drag the extension into your System Folder -> Extensions folder, and come back and tell us if that works.

I upgraded my OS from 7.5.5 to OS 9.1. I still did not get the "ethernet" pull down option. I also downloaded the .sit file you requested. I put the extenstion in my extension folder, restart it. It still did not show up the "ethernet" option. I did another OS installation (this time clean installment). When I went to TCP/IP, I recieved this alert: "The previously selected connection, "Ethernet", is not available. The connection has been changed to "PPP"." What is wrong? I think maybe my computer is not detecting the Apple Ethernet PCI card? And yes, there is such thing as a Apple Ethernet PCI card brand because I bought it.

OK, so I took out the Ethernet card and reinstall it again but to slot B this time. I went under Apple System Profiler/ Devices and Volumes/ PCI/ Slot B1. The Card type says: NOT AVAILABLE. I installed in Slot A1 USB card. The Card type says: USB. Why does it say NOT AVAILABLE? I checked the back of my computer tower to see if the light for the ethernet is blinking. Yes, two colors are flashing. Green (link) and Orange/Yellow (ACTIVE). Is there something wrong with my Ethernet card? I bought it off EBAY.

Maybe this will help you. When I installed the Apple built-in Ethernet extension, I recieved this alert: "An error occurred while trying to start up your AppleTAlk connection. The built-in LocalTalk port will be used instead. "
