--Thanks for the reply...yes, have done about
everything they macsense suggest, including
trashing pref files...suspect router more and
more...no machines can get on line...not the windoz
either...
Doing some other things trashing the Appletalk pref ,
cleaning macs, and trashing Netscape and
reinstalling...I have the network up now and two
macs are talking--some corruption may have been
problem with that. No problems and my windoz
machines are talking. Not sure about whether the
router is configured correctly...have entered all
settings at least twice to recycle them...checking that
now.
After, rebuilding desktop, etc.., things on macs are
ok...I found that the 169.xxx.xxx address is a temp
address when the router can't find the machines. It
assigns that for five minutes, checks again, etc....but
that is corrected because machines now talk to on
another through the router on the network. But for
some reason the Cable feed just doesn't match up
with the router. Cable modem works fine with stand
alone Mac...
Any ideas appreciated...thanks...(pardon the typos)
