She has a straight cable from the modem to the 7500. No router, hub or switch...... Turns out she left the house this morning with the system working again, after calling the cable co. she canceled the tech appointment telling them it was working. She got back home before lunch and it was not connected (again), She called me and I went out and tested the system with my laptop. The data light on the modem was flashing (normal I guess), I switched cables to one of mine and back to hers and both worked fine. I was able to find my laptop using file sharing when I connected to her machine. So the ethernet does work!!! Then when I reattached it to the modem it worked again. I left telling her to call if it happens again. She has decided to change to DSL and it will be installed at the end of the month...... good bye cable......... good bye problem! Problem solved, at least at the end of the month........ -- Alan Miller Underwater Photographer http://home.earthlink.net/~uwphoto/ 9600/233 w/ G3/400 XLR8 ZIF, 1.5 G RAM eBay ID uwphotoer Live each day like it is your last because someday you'll be right. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
