Hello,
I am having a problem with my 300mhz ibook. I was using it on the
internet through my router and it kept dropping connections. Then all at
once it will not connect at all. I went to the network settings and it
kept going back to internal modem setting. I finally got that problem
fixed, but it still won't connect. I have two other computers running
though this same router with the same connection and they are working
fine.
I have traded eithernet cables, I have traded ports on the router, I
have reset the router and restarted the computer, and just about
everything else I can think of. Does anyone have any other ideas? or do
you think my ethernet just went out in my computer....? If so would a
wireless usb ethernet connector work? I am running OS 10.3 .
Thanks,
Pam

Did you look at the "Network Status" in System Preferences->Network?
It should give you a hint as to, well, the status of network interfaces.
A working ethernet connection should present a green light and say
"Built-in ethernet is currently active and has IP address
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".
A yellow light may indicate that the ethernet is using a
self-assigned IP address (and the text should say so).
A red light may indicate that the mac does not sense there is an
active connection there.
This information could help figure out what to look for.
