[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 968487, member: 8287"] A Straight through cable is what you want so that should work. Ok, what router (Brand and Model) and also same with the modem? If you plug in the cable into the MDD and the other end into the router, no light on the router lights? Same with the modem? Are you sure the Cat-5 cable is good? I have heard of some old G4's where the Ethernet port died, but lets be sure before we reach that conclusion. As far as a PCI ethernet card, it will have to be Mac OSX compatible. If it turns out to be a blown network controller on the MDD's mainboard, then try OWC as everything they sell is guaranteed to work on a Mac and they stand behind their products. If you open up Applications/Utilities, you can run Network Utility and do some testing. If you know Linux commands try ifconfig from the terminal. [/QUOTE]
