Okay, I'm replying to David's mail, but it's also to all the suggestions from Brian, Drew, Sionnach et al. I seem to have some "odd" IP addresses: they are not 10.xx or 192.xxx, but rather 23.xxx.xx.81 (on the Sawtooth and Lombard, which both work). The Default gateway address is 23.xxx.xx.1 (same as the IP except for the last digits), the Netmask is 255.xxx.xxx.0 and the Name server address is 213.xxx.xx.xx I get these from the server; I don't insert them manually. Re. number of computers allowed, the server has a 4 "device" limit, i.e., computers plus networked peripherals. Though there are only 3 available ethernet ports on the back of the router (the fourth goes to the DSL modem). The router remembers the devices that have been connected to it and as soon as you add a fifth, service is cut off and you have to call to get it turned on again. I've had only 2 connected (Lombard and Sawtooth), and am trying to get the 3rd. There is supposed to be no problem in connecting 3 at the same time. Re. configuring my router, unfortunately it was just plug and play. The server provided both modem and router (or "residential gateway"), which a tech plugged in to the outlet and said "ready to go". I plugged an ethernet cable into the router and the G4, opened Explorer 5.1 and was surfing the web. I didn't even go into TCP/IP to change anything. Nor did I install any of the server's software, which was for Windows. Anyway, in order, I'll try taking the address from the G4, changing them a bit and inserting them manually into the 3400 TCP/IP control panel. If that doesn't work, I'll try a fresh install of OS 9.1. Thanks for the help. Chris H -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
