Re: 540c and internet
My experience with 9.1 on my 167mhz PBs 500 has been quite positive. However I think the key to using 9.1 on such older 'Books is to have maxed RAM _and_ a newer, faster HD. For example, one of my 167s currently has an original 800mb scsi HD and 40MBs RAM and it's a bit pokey for many things. However the other has the same spec except it's got a 30 gigger and it feels much snappier, much more responsive. You needn't use so large a drive of course, most any modern drive of 6 or 8GBs or so will be plenty fast enough for such older 'Books. Where/ howdid you get a 30gb SCSI HD to fit in it? or even a 6 or 8gb SCSI? Would love to try one out but havnt seen any for sale in the UK at a price that would make it worthwhile.? Ours hax maxed out RAM and an 800mb SCSI - so your comments are very applicable. Gerald -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I get those messages on my 520c when I'm not talking to the server, either thru a DSL router or dialup. A little more info would help: Are you dialing in, are you using an AAUI connecter on an ethernet? Wireless? Are your AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels set correctly for the way you're accessing the web? What OS are you using? Is Open Transport installed, and what version? (half the time I get a message like that I've forgotten to change my control panels to my connection setup--changing them gets me back online.) Later.Howard Computer n.

Re: 540c and internet
No. The previous poster was referring to your ISP's name servers (DNS) addresses being static. Not the ip address being assigned to your machine as being static. What he is suggesting is for you to contact your ISP, ask then what the IP addresses of their DNS servers are and manually enter them in your TCP/IP setup. The problems you are describing don't sound browser related. Just that your machine can not lookup DNS entries. One tool to help rule out your browser is to get MacPing ( http://www.macping.com/ ) and use it to ping a domain name that you know. Like worldcom.com which currently resolves to 164.109.35.20. If you get MacPing, try to ping worldcom.com and if you continue to get the DNS error messages, you've ruled out your browsers as the problem. So, contact your isp, get their DNS addresses, manually enter them and your problem should (hoepfully) go away :) -nils On Sun, Oct 26, 2003 at 07:38:35PM +0200 or thereabouts, nathan wrote: --- Unfortunatly I do not have to option of a router to grab a DNS address and my ISP doesn't offer any static for dial up customers.
