- Important note about network services:
-
- NetMinder Ethernet needs full access to your Macintosh's Ethernet interface
- in order to capture packets from the network. Before running the demo, you
- should disconnect from any mail servers and file servers. Also, if you are
- using MacTCP, MacIPX, LAT, TSSnet, etc. for connection to non-AppleTalk
- devices, you need to remove these files from your Control Panels folder and
- restart your Macintosh prior to collecting packets with NetMinder Ethernet.
- If you have a second Ethernet interface installed in your Macintosh (such as
- a Nubus card), you can avoid disconnecting from network services and removing
- applications from your Control Panels folder. To ask NetMinder Ethernet to use
- the second interface for collection, start-up NetMinder Ethernet and ignore the
- warnings about disabling network services. Then use "Choose Ethernet" under
- the "Options" menu to select the second interface.

- PCMCIA/Ethernet interface users:
-
- NetMinder Ethernet 4.0 adds support for five PCMCIA Ethernet
- adaptors. For these cards to work properly you will most likely
- need to load the most current drivers onto your Macintoshes.
- For your convenience, we have put together a list of pointers to
- where you can find the most current drivers:
-

- SCSI/Ethernet interface users:
-
- NetMinder Ethernet supports several SCSI/Ethernet interfaces. These
- include: Asanté EN/SC and Mini EN/SC; Compatible Systems Ether+;
- Dayna SCSI/Link and Pocket SCSI/Link, Farallon EtherMac SCSI,
- Focus/NuvoTech NuvoLink II; Sonic Systems microSCSI; and TechWorks
- Ethernet SC. Below are some notes about NetMinder Ethernet support
- for these SCSI/Ethernet products:
-
- • The Compatible Systems Ether+, the Focus NuvoLink SC, and the
- TechWorks Ethernet SC are not capable of collecting error packets.
-
- • Version 1.42 or higher of the software driver and version 0.1u or higher
- of the PROM are required for the Compatible Systems Ether+, the Focus
- NuvoLink SC, and the TechWorks Ethernet SC in order for them to work
- with NetMinder Ethernet.
-
- • Version 5.2 or higher of the software driver and version D4 or later
- of the hardware are required for the Asanté EN/SC in order for it to work
- with NetMinder Ethernet.
-
- • When using NetMinder Ethernet with a SCSI/Ethernet device, you should
- first use your Network Control Panel to select a non-SCSI network interface
- icon (such as Built In LocalTalk). Then use NetMinder Ethernet's Choose
- Ethernet command from the Options menu to select the SCSI interface.
- (If you use the Asanté EN/SC or Mini EN/SC SCSI/Ethernet device, you can
- keep the SCSI interface icon selected in the Network Control Panel.)

- Real time packet display note:
-
- The NetMinder Ethernet demo ships, by default, with the option to display
- Ethernet headers in real-time. As noted in the User's Manual, this option
- can affect NetMinder Ethernet's ability to collect all packets on a busy
- network. If your network is busy and capturing all packets is of the highest
- priority, please either uncheck the "Display headers during collection" option
- in the Data Collection options dialog or check the "High speed display" option
- in the Display options dialog.

- Quadra built-in Ethernet interface:
-
- NetMinder Ethernet cannot reenable the Ethernet driver on interfaces using
- the SONIC chipset (used mainly in the built-in Ethernet in Quadra series
- Macintosh computers). If you wish to access the Ethernet (for instance, to
- print) after collecting packets on that particular Ethernet interface, you will
- need to restart your machine. This can be obviated by installing two Ethernet
- interfaces in your machine or by maintaining a separate LocalTalk drop to
- your network for printing and other network services.
