Something really weird is happening with my IBOOK G3, I have it connected via an ethernet cable to connect to the internet. When I boot it up to start up with the ethernet connected instead of the apple coming up when the computer is starting up a box with a globe in it comes up and blinks on and off and just stays there it does nothing. I have to hold the power button down and remove the ethernet cable and then power it up again and then the box with the globe comes up again, but then it goes away and a small folder comes on with a question mark and blinks off and the folder comes back on with the picture of the finder face on it, and then proceeds to log on with the apple into the OS and from there works just fine. I just want to know how I get it back to normal so that I don't have to do all of that additional stuff to make it work. Thank you in advance for your help.
