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...
If files can be shared from the ibm, chances are the ethernets ok.
Sounds more like a DNS addressing error. The power here goes down every
other week then comes back up as quickly, this plays havoc with the
switches (all the pc's stay down until powered up again). I will get
different machines able to connect to the net while some wont. All will
fileshare. The fix is to turn the switch off and back on after a minute
or so.
If the connection is wireless it would be wise to reinstall the driver
software and utils.
Lastly when you highlight the "local connection" in the network control
panel - what IP address and subnet is displayed at the bottom left under
"details"
DHCP is nice and easy - Static addressing is just reliable.
