HI All
A friend of mine has a blue G3 happily (well, almost happily) running
OS 10.2.0. Everything is going great except we can't get it to use the
DSL modem that Optusnet supplied.
We have troubleshot the whole house and can now get our laptop running
10.4.2 to use the modem in the same room, on the same line, with all
the relevant filters and phones and foxtel etc running. This is almost
seamless, Just plug the laptop into the modem and off you go.
But on the G3, we just can't get it to work. I think it recognises the
modem, because it automatically adds all the relevant numbers in the
Ethernet section of the Network setup, but using DHCP produces no
result - we can't get web or email to work.
I tried 'using pppoe', but this won't connect either.
Is there a known issue with this combination, or something that
someone can think of that might get us one step further?
The 56k internal modem works fine. The upgrade to 10.2.8 is a 100mb
download, which on 56k would be a bit daunting. I could download it
here though, if it would help.
Hi Jude
Does the DSL Modem have an Ethernet port too, as I'm assuming you have
been connecting it via USB, Ethernet is always my preference.
I cant recommend the 10.2.8 upgrade enough.
I'd have to rate it as one of the all time great updates ;-) No 8.6 but
you get the idea ;-)
Good Luck
Paul
