Sorry for the cross-post (if you're on the Powerlist): I've got an always-on DSL connection at home that consists of a DSL modem (ethernet port) and a Telsey Gateway "hub/appliance" that has 4 10BT ethernet ports (1 for the DSL modem and 3 for our Macs).
We currently have a G4 Sawtooth (OS 9.2) and a Lombard (OS 9.1) hooked up to the Gateway and the internet connection is outstanding (ave. 120KB/sec downloads). The Gateway also works as an ethernet hub and the two Macs see each other perfectly; transferring files between them is super. I added a 3400/240 (144MB RAM, OS 9.1) to the network. It works just great on the household network: is seen by and sees the other two Macs perfectly. File transfer fast and trouble free. BUT, I can't get the 3400 to connect to the internet at all. I've tried switching Gateway ports and ethernet cables, but to no avail. I've tried different browsers, too, but that's not the problem. I keep getting an error message, as if the 3400 wasn't even connected to the web; no email either, of course. The only setting I've used (as with the other 2 Macs) is in TCP/IP: Connect via ETHERNET Configure using DHCP SERVER Options: Make TCP/IP Active and LOAD ONLY WHEN NEEDED Appletalk is ON and set to ETHERNET. Any ideas? Seems like a software problem, as all the hardware is working fine. Thanks for any help. Chris H P.S.
