Well, to be honest, I've never had any luck getting a Mac to share a
connection with a Windows machine, or vice versa. However, I'd say it's
the PC at fault, based on the symptoms given. The ethernet port is a
good place to start, in my humble opinion. Also, and this isn't a fix
to your problem, but it might be a good idea to switch to Firefox on
the PC. However, back to your problem. Next, you may like to go into
the network settings and setup your network as a new one... That worked
when I had to connect my Lombard to my HP Pavilion a520n and it
wouldn't see the Mac...
Hope this helps a little,
Caleb

Hey folks, I'm running a small LAN in my home controlled by an SMC 4
port
wireless router. I have my wife's ibook, by B&W, and an IBM Netvista
P4
running XP Pro (SP2). Just today when I tried to use IE on the IBM,
the
home page didn't load and I got the error page instead. My homepage is
Google so I thought that it not loading was kinda weird. I then
checked the
control panel for the network connection. It showed that I there was a
connection. I went on my B&W and I was able to access the IBM over
the LAN
and transfer files to it.
The ibook and B&W were able to fully use the internet i.e. Surf, chat,
download, e-mail, etc. The IBM keeps saying that it has a connection
but
trying to use e-mail or IE keeps giving me error messages that it
can't find
a server. I thought that the last update on XP might have done
something so
I erased the IBM and re-installed XP. Again, I couldn't connect onto
the
internet. Is it possible that the built-in ethernet port has gone
crazy?
Is it possible for the IBM to communicate to the computers on the LAN
but
lose internet access? Plz help!
