Help me with a friends problem, as she describes it.....
I have a G4 os x 3.9 with a d link router connected to a windoz xp machine with a cable modem. When I first started using it about a yr. ago, I could not get on. Tried all the tricks of unplugging it, reseting it, rebooting, etc. Worked ok for a long time but we have had electrical storms lately so we have been unplugging everything. I cannot get it to connect. Router shows activity and if I use the "ping" command it shows as not connecting. I have also tried replacing the cable with a new one. I notice that the values in the network connection keep defaulting back to "internal modem" instead of ethernet no matter how I use the little lock etc. Changing the setting back to ethernet does not help. Got any input to this - its also one of those deals where I cannot put in the address since its one that changes ever few seconds. The cable co. is of no help - not only are they not Mac saavy - their excuse is "we only cover one computer"
