Do you have any reason at all to think your machine is talking to the
network?  In other words, does it behave any differently if you
disconnect the thinnet at the back panel?

Because if not, it could be as simple as your having the jumper set so
it's trying to use the AUI connector.  The -3/60 (which is what I
assume you have) has a jumper to select AUI versus thinnet; it doesn't
auto-select the way some newer machines can.

If you do have _some_ network connectivity, then I have no idea what's
wrong.

If you think it could be the jumper, just remove the CPU board and look
at the jumpers.  The relevant one is in the same bank of jumpers as the
ones that describe how much memory is installed; the jumper you want is
labeled something like EXTXUR, I think.
