My G3/400 is really hacking me off. I rebuilt my LAN this last day or so around a 9600/G3 running 10.3 that Firewalls and routes all traffic on my subnet. However out of the machines on the network (iMac G4, 7100, 840av, PC-WinXP) my G3 refuses to connect tothe router via TCP/IP. It can AppleTalk to it, and even SMB to it, and it's able to connect to other machines. However the internet is not working and I can't ping the routing machine (only).
I have rebooted, reconfigured the Network settings numerous times, and am still banging my head in despair. I have recently pulled a 10/100 Apple NIC out of it - is that maybe causing trouble? Are there any prefs I can safely trash that might effect it?
P.S. i tried a PING from my 9600 and it doesn't work that way around either. Could I hav excluded the IP somehow by accident? Maybe Firewalled it? I dunno! If anyone knows where BRICKHOUSE or OS X 10.3 keeps a list of trusted clients or similar let me know.
I tried Brickhouse once. Took me a week or so to expunge it from my system,
and till I did . . . well, anyway, it didn't seem to do anything I couldn't
do without it, except hose stuff up. Guess I just lack the Mac Nature.
I assume you looked at your routing tables on each machine? Since the others
work okay, it's most likely that the G3/400 is the one that's hosed. If you
run "netstat -rn" you should see something similar for each of your machines.
There will probably be a "default" entry missing for the 400. You can inspect
the firewall settings with "ipfw list". You can eliminate the possibility that
the firewall is stopping you with "ipfw flush". By the way, I didn't try out
the latter. The rules should be back in force if you reboot. You'll need
to use sudo to run these or be root.
Maybe you already fixed the problem . . . . I was out of town.
