Thanks for the helpful response, but none of it helped. I write anyway as the solution was found and well enough to record.
The problem was that the 3com-router had suddently stopped obtaining a DHCP-IP-address from the ISP and the computers attached to it via Airport seemed to use it as a Hub and not as a router, as they got WAN-addresses from the ISP. I thought there was something wrong in the settings of the 3Com router or that it was broke, but when the router suddently began distributing DHCP-addresses for the computers attached via Airport last night, so that they no longer could go to the internet, I got an idea: Perhaps the cabling was wrong. My sister had moved the router from the place that I had originally placed it and redrawn the cables so that they would look nicer. This had led my brother-in-laws iMac unconnected to the internet, but I just thought that they had molested the cables in the process. They had not, but had of course had them out the router and simply put them back in the wrong order. Switching the WAN and LAN-cable made everything work again :-) Cheers, Kim On 26-09-04 9:47, "Jacobson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Did you (or her) changed the router config ? > It looks loke it is in bridging mode. -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
