I was assuming she had the modem connected to the cable as the cable co
would set it up. Then a router connected to it, and the computers on
the router........ she did have it working for a year almost....

I should have also clarified that I¹m assuming your router has a 4 port
switch build into it.
So you should have one RJ45 jack (big phone jack) on one side and 4 on
the
other. The modem connects to the lone jack and then then your computers
connect to one of the 4 ports, each computer on it¹s own port.
First the order of hardware should be cable modem to router, from the
router
both the G4 and the XP should be connected.
I think that¹s why your G4 defaults back to the internal modem.

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"
