I have a small ethernet network here at home and there's one bit
[hubby] driving me to distraction. Everything working fine... performa
5400/180 8.6, iMac 333 9.1, G4 powerbook 867 10.3.9 and last iMac 450
10.3.9.
Unplug the 450 iMac and plug in iBook 700 10.4 and nothing, no ethernet
connection. Could it be the plug in bit? Not sure so do what should
have been done a while ago and get a wall socket, cut the end off and
wire up... still nothing and now the iMac not connecting either. I'm
tearing my hair out but still manage to ask him sweetly if he's sure
he's wired the wall socket correctly...... apparently there's two
wiring diagrams A and B and he's done A, perhaps he should try B?
B done and now the imac is back on board but still nothing from the
laptop, time for drastic measures so up he comes to my office and the
spare network cable i have here, plugs it in and instant connection. He
goes to the room where the 333 iMac is unplugs it plugs his laptop in
and connects again. So it is back to his desk, unplugs his iMac and
tries the laptop again and again nothing?
Any suggestions anyone? PLEASE...
Yvonne
