I have a problem with my wife's "new" TiBook 400MHz and I'm going crazy...
We have ADSL and everything works fine with my G4 QuickSilver, but her TiBook (X.3.9) will not receive a valid IP address, 169.smoething...
I have run permissions repair and all, no difference.
The subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 which is something I recognise from previous instances with this problems with other Macs.
I literally take the Ethernet cable from the QuickSilver, plug it in the back of the TiBook, nothing, and then putting it back into the QS, everything works straight away.
I have restarted, fiddled, restarted, switched off the IPv6 which I read somewhere could help, but nothing works.
Any ideas ???
Also, why can one not set the subnet mask manually while keeping DHCP with automatic IP address assignment ???
