Because that's what it appears you are saying.  The PC is "in the loop"
since if you powered it down it the system wouldn't work.  In this case the
PC is acting as a router and ethernet-to-SLIP adapter.

My point was why not connect the PIC directly to the ethernet since this
removes any dependence on the PC and would be easier to accomplish (in my
opinion)?
