Hi i am using a macintosh se FDHD with mac os 7.5.3 on a zip drive. I posted the question on my Hp pavilion PC with winxp. Also another thing is that there is no tcp/ip controll pannel. When i installed system 7.5.3 it came with MacTCP controll pannel. Do i have to install OT (open transport.)
Does your SE have an Ethernet port?
Hi Kevin,
Read my stuff over here:

When using an SE, you are stuck with using MacTCP. If you have a faster Mac, poke around for the Network Software Selector that allows you to switch between MacTCP and Open Transport.
ps Put your specs on!
Which OS are you using?
Which Mac model are we talking about?
How are you connecting to Comcast? (Ethernet?)
Are you posting to AppleFritter from the Mac in question, or from another machine?
As I recall, MacTCP was for dialup connections in System 7. It was replaced in System 7.5 by TCP/IP and Remote Access. If you're on Comcast (cable Internet), why do you particularly need need MacTCP?
