According to the Ethernet Hardware Manual (we finally

PC's network interface

it.
Yesterday, I went and borrowed a cross-over TP cable from the teacher who
does all the network stuff at our school. Connected it between my PC and
the
printer, let 'em power up...and pinging and
telnetting both worked!
Ah. It's quite likely there are some links on the card which have to be
set one way to use the 10baseT port, and the other way to use the
transceiver... Look for a set of 6 links.
