My first SWAG on your problem would be that the router that you packed away, having not been plugged in for a while, would need to be reconfigured in some way. I would review your router's settings just in case they have been reset to factory defaults after having been without power for a while.

My two bits.

Hi

I have a small wired network at home consisting of an eMac running 10.3 and PC
running Windows 2000.


I have recently packed away all my computer equipment for decorating purposes and
this morning set it all back up again.


Before packing up it was working fine. The two computers where linked via 10/100
Ethernet to a router and then to my NTL cable modem, allowing shared internet access.


After setting up this morning in exactly the same manor I could not get the eMac
to connect to the outside world. The PC however was fine.


The only difference being I bought 3 new ethernet patch cables. One from the
eMac to the router, one from the PC to the router and one for the router to the
cable modem - all exactly the same.


Do I have to reconfigure the Mac?
Is it a dodgy cable?
Do I need a special cable from the Mac to the router?

Help

--- The box said "Requires Windows 2000, or better" so I bought an Apple Mac.
