(This is only supposed to have local distribution, so if you're out of the WA, OR, V.BC area ignore this message) I looking for someone to help me hook up my NeXT and PC with a ethernet connection. I have a Western Digital 16bit ethernet card, a 20ft cable, and all the NCSA Telnet stuff (as well as the SOSS software), but try as I might I can't get the two to find each other. I don't actually get any errors, I just can't figure out how to set them up so that the PC's Telnet can find my NeXT. Setting up the NeXT also seems to be a problem because almost all of the documentation is about setting up NetInfo, and about connecting up to a existing network. Unfortunitly, I don't have a existing network to connect to, just two lonely boxes. What I'm looking for is someone to come over to my basement and help me set them up. If you're willing but would like some reimbursment, that's fine. Ken Birdwell - 746-1514 Bellevue WA. [a serial connection is way too slow, I need to transfer several 1-5MB files back and forth each day] --
