[QUOTE="Tyranny22, post: 260537, member: 21179"] I'm having trouble connecting to the internet. it's not exactly what I think of as a network. we've just got a cable modem with an ethernet cord running to the ethernet port. when my wife's ibook is hooked up, everything works fine. but, when I disconnect and hook my g4 up, everything in the preferences clicks over to match what her ibook preferences said, but when I launch safari or firefox it says the site cannot be found. it's odd that all the preference click over. I've got it set to "Automatic" and "DCHP". the IP address, router, and submask information all fills in by itself. could this possibly be the actual ethernet port itself??? I'm lost. I've updated to the newer OS X 10.2.8 build (6R73), but no luck. [/QUOTE]
