Hi
I just purchased a g3 for $50.00. I've tried to hook it up to internet and have not had any success. I've called my isp Roger's Cable and they walked my through the connection process and had no luck. The techie said that i had to "uninstall" tcp/ip settings. I assume he meant to trash the tcp/ip pref. file which i did. Still no luck. Apparently it is not acquiring the correct ip address from the DHCP server. This machine was orginally in a novell network so i'm wondering if it has a stray ip setting somewhere. I've also deleted all the internet configs. I'm
not to familar with the mac so bear with me. I'm using os 9. I've googled the internet and have not found too much info. Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance
