[QUOTE="dpixel8, post: 16352"] I am new here, but look to be around for a long time. Heres a little background: I am an art director (glorified graphic designer) and I just got a brand new G5 for the office. So now we have a G3 and a G5. Much nicer, this OSX stuff. Very lovely interface and seems to be very fast...except at startup. When the G5 starts up, I get a blinking "globe" icon, that goes for about 5 mins, and then a little blinking folder icon. I thought it was the network settings, but even after it finally gets started up, I have all the network stuff correct on the machine. So I ask you, is this normal? Am I missing something? Granted, I have only been messing around on this for about 10 hours now, and have much more to read in these forums, but this is one issue I really want to take care of asap. Thanks much for any concern and help in solving this matter, and nice to meet you all. [/QUOTE]
