System:
Performa 6400 w/ 6500/250 motherboard
128 mb ram
OS 8.1
Kingston 10/100 PCI ethernet card or CS II ethernet card
IE 5.1.1
Eudora v.5 (lite version)
Linksys BEFSR41 router
Westel Model 61 DSL modem
Verizon DSL
This system gave us flawless online connection (thanks to the advice
from members of this list) until I had to replace the CPU cooling
fan. To get at the screws mounting it to the heat sink, I removed the
PCI ethernet card, then reinstalled the card after completing the fan
replacement. Upon restart, TCP/IP control panel gave me a dialog box
that said that ethernet was no longer available. I checked to make
sure the Kingston extension was in place and turned on. I turned it
off, restarted, turned it back on, restarted (somewhere in there I
pressed CUDA button); checked the connections, noted that the little
green lights on the back of the PCI card were lit. Still no ethernet
available.
Took out PCI card and put in CSII card. Pressed CUDA again,
restarted, turned KIngston extension off, CSII ethernet extension on,
restarted. (somewhere in there I pushed reset button on both router
and modem: both were powered down and back up.) Ethernet now
available :-) , but still no connection with either IE or Eudora :-(
. Used IE to access router setup, redid the setup configuration. When
I clicked the "connect" button on the 'Status' tab, it connected. :-
). But when I tried to connect with either IE or Eudora, it won't
connect. :-( . As long as I make the connection from the router
status page, both IE and Eudora will work, but for some reason can't
connect on their own. Eudora tells me "server not responding": if I
even get a message from IE it just says it failed to make the
connection. One time it said something about PPPoE authorization
failing.
So I have two conundrums:
1) Why won't the system recognize the PCI card
2) Why can't IE and Eudora connect, even though I can connect
directly from the router?
Any advice *greatly* appreciated, as always.
