Hi Dan, Thanks for the input, clarification, and offer to provide continuance of advice. I'll assemble the requested information and be back with you. In the meantime, I *can* provide a clearer description of what I *had* done on the G4 DA in the hopes of assembling (more accurately, mimicking) a correct IP address. Since the DA is the only OS 9 unit in the house, my only known-to-be-good connections, wireless and wired, are on OS X-run units. So... I went across the room to my G5 (running Leopard and connected via Ethernet) and read the following off of the Network SP panel: IP Address: 192.168.1.8 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.1.1 DNS Server: 192.168.1.1 Search Domains: Home I then went to the TCP/IP control panel on the G4 DA (again, running OS 9.2.2), made sure to select "Connect via" to Airport, "Configure" manually, and copied the above information to the requisite fields, like so: IP Address: 192.168.1.x (x=another no. other than 8) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.1.1 Name server address (I presume this was DNS Server) Search Domains: Home I then saved this configuration and attempted to run an internet connection (after I turned Airport on, of course), as mentioned earlier, this was no go. That's all for now until I get the additional information.
