The cd and hd are both internal right? Just double check the HD is jumpered
term on (since it is last) and the CD is not. If the HD is stock, it is
probably a quantum. you can get jumper diagrams from maxtor's site now. It
is a pita getting them out of the box though. not one of apple's better
designs for serviceability.

It won't display a hardware address if it doesn't get a link. But you
already said you got link good lights.

I remember there was something about deselecting the option to "load only
when needed" under the TCP/IP options. That helped someones problem of their
link dropping out on a stubborn switch. Worth a shot.

as always, good luck.
