MacTCP problem

The MacTCP for System 7.5.5 on my Power Macintosh Performa 5400/180 automatically changes it's settings when I open the Apple Internet Dialer.

I have found that the MacTCP conflicts with Open Transport which is needed by the Apple Internet Dialer.

How do I fix it so this does not happen?

Just wondering if you've tried FreePPP instead of OT? OT certainly conflicts with MacTCP. I sometimes find it is better to stick with the MacTCP/FreePPP combination on non-PPCs, though I am not sure you'll want to do this with your PPC.

I have InterSLIP with PPP at the moment which works with MacTCP, I have tried to remove InterSLIP but the PPP refuses to work without it.


I'm not quite sure about this, but I think if you got a copy of FreePPP (should be available from www.shareware.com) and installed it, it would be worth seeing how it went.

Good luck,

I have downloaded FreePPP from the Shareware Address.
How do I use it with the MacTCP?

In the MacTCP menu I have configPPP,Localtalk, Ethernet and SLIP.
When I restart my computer configPPP, SLIP and InterSLIP are selected.

Could this be a reason why the MacTCP changes it's configeration?
