The Ethernet line entry will be updated (figure 10).Select the first entry in the list, Port Name: Ethernet.Press the Accept button to begin your 21 day trial, or select Register (figure 8).Open the IPNetRouter68K folder (figure 6).Now that it’s installed you need to setup IPNetRouter as a software bridge that connects the AppleTalk connection created by Apple Remote Access Personal Server to the Ethernet Connection you setup in step 1. For me Basilisk II didn’t restart, so I had to manually start it again.Press Install to use the default installation folder (figure 4).

Press Yes for the “may need to be restarted” warning (figure 3).This is the key application for all of this to work, IPNetRouter was created by Sustainable Softworks and version 1.54 was the last version to work on a 68k system. Open up a browser/FTP client on your Macintosh and Surf 🙂.Call in from your Macintosh System to Basilisk II.Setup Open Transport or MacTCP on your Macintosh System.IPNetRouter 1.54, the installation files are on my System 7.5.5 drive and volume images (Network folder), or you can download the install files.Note: I use a LCIII rom with Basilisk II, and I suggest you do the same for this guide, I had issues with getting ARA to work when I tried the Mac IIci rom.
#Basilisk ii already set up full version
Basilisk II, running a full version of System 7.5.5 with ARA 2.1 installed and tested, and OpenTransport 1.1.2 installed and tested.You MUST have your null modem cable connected to your modern system before you start Basilisk II.A USB/Serial null modem cable, I provide links to where I bought mine as part of my entry on using Zterm ( I strongly suggest you cable using Zterm before trying to setup IPNetRouter with ARA 2.1).A 68k Macintosh System with at least 4MB of memory running System 7.1 or higher with Open Transport 1.1.2 or MacTCP installed.Note: this process will create the equivalent of a “dial-up” connection, see my Zterm entry for more information on what to expect for speed. Once that connection has been created between your Macintosh system and modern system running Basilisk II, you can use IPNetRouter to bridge the ARA PS’s AppleTalk connection with Basilisk II’s ethernet connection and surf the web from your Macintosh.

This entry builds on my entry for how to use Apple Remote Access Personal Server (ARA PS 2.1) to connect Basilisk II to a 68k Macintosh with AppleTalk over a null modem connection.
