[QUOTE="rman, post: 18965, member: 23"] Here is whaqt I know. If you are connected to a router, all you need is a straight through cable. Even if the ethernet card is 10baseT, is should work on a 10/100baseT router (which I believe most are). As for settings, if DHCP is turned on. You should be good to go. The only problem I have started at with 10.2.3 and is still there for me with 10.2.6. I don't know about 10.2.8. When I power up my powerbook, which is hard wired to the network. it takes about 5 to 7 minutes before I am able to connect to the network (via DHCP). I have not tried a static IP address as of yet. If I have a solid connection and my powerbook goes to sleep, upon wake up I lose the connection and I have to wait that 5 to 7 minutes to connect again. I have found that my wife iBook which is running 10.1.5 does not have that problem (one reason why I have not upgraded her yet). I don't know if this is a problem in Panther (I plan to get it in the next week or so). What you might try is setting a static IP address,. You can get the configuration parameters from your PC (i.e. the router gateway address, the static route, the netmask, etc.) using ipconfig /all [/QUOTE]
