I have a g3 350mhz imac. I have had it for about a year now running linux, and just recently (as my emac had gone down) I re installed OS 9. For some reason, I was not able to get on the network. We have a lan with a wireless router and I plugged it into an ethernet port on the router (It has a few on back for a small wired workgroup) I tried everything I could with the settings for OS 9, and eventually, believing that perhaps Linux was a more network oriented operating system, installed kubuntu. This failed to get on the LAN as well, and now I have no idea what to do. It seems that it doesn't come up on the router as even being plugged in, but when I try it with my dell laptop, everything works as normal. I even tried plugging it into another ethernet switch, which failed to see it as well. My only conclusion is that the ethernet port has gone out. Christmas is coming soon, so it may be easier to replace the whole machine if the ethernet port really is dead (although if the fix is simple I could probably fix it e.g. soldering) so I will probably be able to get a new mac, but I'd hate to get rid of this one. Is there anything obvious that I should be noticing here and would it be fixable? Thanks for the help, Andrew.
