Okay, get your thinking caps on ;-)
And sorry if this is a cross-post from other Mac lists, but I still haven't
sorted it out.
I can't get my 3400/240, OS 9.1, 144MB RAM to connect to the internet (or
retrieve email) thru our DSL connection.
Our DSL consists of an Alcatel Speed Touch Home modem, which is connected by
10bT ethernet to a Telsey Residential Gateway hub/"appliance", which has 4
10bT ethernet ports and 2 phone jacks.
I currently have the 3400, as well as a G4 Sawtooth (OS 9.1) and a Lombard
(OS 9.1) connected to the Gateway.
All 3 Macs see each other in our small home network and we can transfer
files from/to each without problems.
The G4 and Lombard have always used the DSL link 24/7 without problems.
Setup was plug and play. No additional software needed. I set up the TCP/IP
control panel as Connect via Ethernet, and Configure Using DHCP Server, and
that was it.
Tried doing the same with the 3400, but any attempt to open a URL gets a an
Error message ("The attempt to load ... failed"). Also unable to check
email.
The 3400's ethernet/port works fine both for ethernet and as a modem.
I've also tried swapping known good ethernet cables, and switching ports on
the Gateway, but to no avail.
At this point, it would seem as though it's software related.
I've even tried different Open Transport extensions on the 3400 (2.7.6,
2.7.8).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris H
