[WinMac] IPNetRouter Suddenly Quit Working

I had IPNetRouter working on a G3 (B/W) Mac for about a week, sharing my
cable modem with 3 PCs. Suddenly it quit working--the G3 can use the modem
just fine, but none of the other machines can.

I use a dual ethernet configuration with the cable modem connected to the
built-in networking and the second connection is a Dayna 10 Base T card.

I have removed and re-installed IPNetRouter , thrown away the prefs, and
then removed and reinstalled, zapped the PRAM, and done everything else that
I can think of. The result is always the same, it doesn't work.

When I try to set it up, I can add IP masquerading to the built in
connection, but even though I can select the second connection in the pull
down menu, I always get the error message that the device can't be found
when I try to set up an IP address for it.

I have reinstalled the Dayna card, I have reinstalled its software, I have
swapped the card with a different one from a different machine. The result
is always the same.

Between the time that IPNetRouter last worked and when it quit I had
installed: Canvas 6, TechTool Pro, and AOL 4 for Mac. AOL installed AOLink,
AOLink enhanced and something else all of which were visible in the
IPNetRouter pull down window, but I removed them with EM and restarted and
they went away, but IPNetRouter still didn't work.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get this working again?

Thanks,

Dave
