Control Panel: Appletalk
Choose connect via ethernet
On close, say yes to save configuration
Control Panel: TCP/IP
Should say Connect via Ethernet at the top
System Folder: Hosts file (eg a text file named "hosts"). This lists the
IP addresses of all local machines (eg a PC named wingate in my case).
Vary the 2 at the end from 1..127 as needed.
192.168.0.2 wingate

Configure the PC side to match, eg with a hosts file like this (go by
the asante documentation for details).
192.168.0.1 mac

Once you get this far, download MacTCPWatcher or similar. Verify that
the PC responds to pings from the mac to 192.168.0.2 and from the pc
side (use the Windows ping utility; use run menu, type ping
192.168.0.1).
If pings work in both directions you have a working IP connection. If
you get this far, send details and I'll try to help from there.
