hi to the person who wanted to connect himself online though his new cable modem, but he couldn't see the net (wwww) -- sounds like you need the domain name server addresses (to resolve domain nanes "apple.com" to ip address)....
as for using a newer pci 10/100 card, it's a good idea. stick it any PCI slot that's free on the mac in question. it's not like a PC where you have to find the right pci slot,, they all work (if you have more than one).... you could use two ethernet cards, and use a router-software app (like IP net router, or install OSC anduse its own built-in stuff), but i prefer the ease and simplicity of a router box (mine is a macsense xrouter pro) and it connects all my machines on my privately-assigned ip-based LAN to my cable modem. all pcs, macs, unix boxen are happily surfing... good luck. matx ps. and to the person whose company forces to use the 5-digit password everywhere. i suggest switching to somethign that's 6-8 characters, as is the usual range. at my work we use a common 9-digit password. -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
