The Cuda button resets the Cuda chip, which is described as follows:
"The Cuda is a microcontroller chip. Its function is to:
- Turn system power on and off.
- Manage system resets from various commands.
- Maintain parameter RAM (PRAM).
- Manage the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB).
- Manage the real-time clock.
Many system problems can be resolved by resetting the Cuda
chip (see Symptom Charts for examples). Press the Cuda
reset button on the logic board to reset the Cuda chip."
Browsers don't negotiate PPPoE connections over DSL, themselves. If you
don't have a 24/7 connection, what happens is that any attempt to
access a network address on the internet forces the system to connect.
If you do have a 24/7, then you could well be connected even though
your browsers don't work. To test this, open Network Utility, which is
in /Applications/Utilities. Click the Ping tab and then enter a known
good domain name, such as apple.com. If you get responses, then the
problem is with your browser, not your network connection.
If you don't get responses from pinging, then it's possible you have
ethernet problems. Get a crossover cable and connect the iBook directly
to the B&W. Create new "locations" on both and see if they can connect
to each other.
