The key thing, and thanks for fessing up to it, is that OS 8.6 was installed from an iMac restore CD. The problem is that the restore CD installs an OS for the iMac only, and does not include extra extensions necessary for other Mac's to use hardware that is not common with the newer computer, such as Ethernet. Someone with a 5400 will need to look at their ethernet extensions and e-mail them to you.
