Somewhere on your System software CD is a little programme
called Network Selector or something like that, sorry
can't quite remember the name.

What it will allow you to do is configure your machine to
run either OpenTransport or the old MacTCP setup. At the
moment it sounds like you are trying to run a little of
each.

I would choose OpenTransport if I were you.

If that doesn't fix your current problem then you may have to
re-install your system software to try and get all the right
files back in the correct place.


Hope this helps,
