The Orange PC needs to be able to go through the Mac's built in EtherNet connection to a DSL modem and then through that to the Internet. In order to do that I will need to establish specific IP addresses. That is something I have never done and am somewhat uncertain as to how to do since on a Macintosh the IP addresses are normally set up automatically by the machines themselves, or dynamically from the Internet provider's server. Neal P.S. I am using a second monitor since a loopback cable was not provided. Was it an option on the 530? WNL P.P.S. I have gone to Orange Micro's site. The manuals, FAQ's and update software are helpful but not sufficient. What is needed are users that can help each other since Orange Micro no longer supports the product. WNL Carrie L.
