Hi List, I've got an eMac G4 (1.25GHz, 1.0GB of RAM, 80 GB HDD) that has an odd problem. It only connects to the Internet with completely-manual settings. When attempting to automatically connect, it says it has a "self-assigned IP address, and may not be able to connect." Giving it a manual IP address doesn't help—only manually configuring all the fields allows the computer to connect.
There are other computers in the house with automatic settings that are all connected fine, with Airport and Ethernet. With automatic settings, the eMac refuses to connect via either of those methods. We have a Surfboard modem and a Linksys WRT45G modem that we use to connect to Earthlink High Speed Online (which is provided by Time Warner Cable, so it's essentially the same thing as RoadRunner), if that helps. Any ideas why the computer refuses to connect with automatic settings? I'm stumped, but at least I've figured out how to actually get it online.
