Just got my PB 1400

I have a few questions:

I can't figure out how to get the ethernet working (it has an ethernet port). When I go into TCP/IP in OS 8 it says "the previously selected option ethernet is no longer available". I can't get appleshare to start in the chooser either.

And, whenever I plug in the computer, it always starts up immediately. How do I not have this happen? I want to plug it in, and then press the power key to start it up.

A PowerBook 1400 doesn't come with ethernet as standard equipment. If you have an Ethernet card in it, you'll need a driver for it.

As for the power issue, try resetting the power manager. The procedure should be outlined in Apple's service documentation (available at support.apple.com).

Re: Just got my PB 1400

I had a PB 1400 a long time ago and it used to do stuff like that. There might be a Ethernet or Network control panel that needs to be set to see that card. Check all your control panel settings.
