i seem to remember that a lot of the asante cards and maybee others
dont like 10/100 hubs... the solution is to use a simple 10 hub
between the mac and the rest of the network that runs 10/100
hope this helps

I just recently upgraded the network cabling in my house
to 5e
as part of some new construction, and I also upgraded the networking
components. Now, all of my normal machines run at 100 full duplex.
Anyway.
The strangest thing happened to my Mac IIci - the Ethernet
connection no longer works. I don't even get a link light on the new
switch
(a Cisco/Linksys switch). However, when I plug the Mac into a plain
old 10BT
hub and then uplink it to the switch, I at least get a link light.
Nothing else works, though. The router doesn't show the Mac obtaining
an IP
address, and the ci doesn't see the AppleTalk zone that's on my NT
Server
box. In the previous configuration, everything went through a 24-port
hub.
Does this problem resonate with anyone?
