That's because the 7200/DOS uses a newer Ethernet Controller ASIC called the
"Curio Prime" that allows 2 "hardware Ethernet addresses for the single
Ethernet Interface [Apple TIL #20262]. The 6100/DOS only supports a single
address. I made TCP/IP inactive on the Mac side, but Win95 still won't
connect using TCP/IP. It will connect to our LAN if I install NetBeui, but
it then will still not connect to the Internet.

What did you mean about telling Win95 to use the right NIC?

Thanks !
