[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 162778, member: 8287"] Just booted up into Mac OS9 so I could be sure to tell you the correct info. First thing go to Control Panel, then click on TCP/IP. Be sure the Connect Via is set to "Ethernet", and the Configure is set to "Using DHCP Server". Be sure no other address's show up in the fields below those two settings. Go to Control Panel again and click in Internet. Go there to the Advanced TAB and then to Firewalls. Be sure everything there is unchecked, Then go to the Hosts Tabs and get rid of anything there. If it still does not work and you are for sure connected to your Cable, Go back to TCP/IP and select Manual instead of DHCP and see if there are any stray address's there. If so get rid of them and go back to DHCP. What Mac G3 is it? Model. How are you connecting it to your Cable? Router or directly to the modem? If directly to the Cable Modem, a lot of CAble Co's use the Machines ID and if you hook up another machine Direct to the modem it will not work. If to a router, after everything is set like I told you and you save it, You should after a few be able to come back to the TCP/IP Control Panel and see your network's IP Address and Subnet mask in the fields below the settings. If you still have problems let me know. I know networking with OS8-9 quite well. Worked with a lot of Macs in DSL through a Router on an all PC network. [/QUOTE]
