I will again echo problems with Ethernet on old-world Macs. I am having a
DISMAL experience with built-in ethernet on an 8500 and YDL 2.0. I had
absolutely NO connection using DHCP through a hub when at my home office
while MacOS connectivity was fine. When I returned the machine to the Co-Lo
and put it on a static IP, it connected fine for a day or so then
disappeared off the network. I have not been able to get back to it since it
disappeared the night before Thanksgiving and my ISP is out of the office.
YDL is NOT ready for prime-time. I am getting furious with this system. I
was getting ready to switch over because I need the faster machine, but I
cannot rely on this flaky networking. MkLinux on the Power120 is still
chugging along, I have NEVER had problems like this with it.
