One thought, never install any software from your ISP (at least for "easy" connectivity). The Mac is set up already to do what you need to do. I'm really suprised that an ISP put together something for Mac OS!
Maybe try trashing the TCP/IP preferences and see if the control panel is restored? If not, reinstall the controll panel. There may some other things that should be trashed as well. Personally, I'd (and do) set the machines up to use static IP address'. It's quite simple really. You could read how do do this on the IPNetRouter website. They've some dandy tutorials there. connect manually yourMac 192.168.0.2 yourPC 192.168.0.3 router 192.168.0.1 (gateway on the PC) subnet 255.255.255.0 DNS from your ISP That is the LAN 1/2, you must have the WAN side working already? sg --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Thanks to all for the advice.
