I made separate location in Network, in OS X, each one with a single port
active at any one time. So, I should be fine. The problem is when I run NCU
in Classic on my PowerBook, which uses hard wire Ethernet connection, my
Newton running wirelessly through my AirPort Base Station cannot see the
printer, an Apple Personal LaserWriter NTR, which is also hard wire to the
Ethernet, but through an AsanteTalk bridge. I'm guessing that this is the
source of my problem. However, if I get the Newton hard wired on Ethernet,
then it sees the printer and NCU fine. So, it must be something with
AppleTalk over AirPort not getting across the bridge. Why those same
AppleTalk packets get through when hard wired to Ethernet? Well, there must
not be exactly the same depending if they're coming out from AirPort or the
Ethernet switch...
