Chris, Sorry, I won't be much help with your problem, but I can attest that I am running a 3400 through a Cable Modem via Ethernet on OS 8.6 going through a LinkSys Router with a 4 port switch. It takes an IP address from the DHCP service running on the router. All I did was setup TCPIP to get the IP automatically, and I set Appletalk to Ethernet. I don't use the dongle but go straight through the cabel and I have the modem extension installed.... 3400 not with me right now so i can't check the extension version. I also carry this machine to work with me from time ot time and plug right in and access the internet over our DSL link... Don't change any settings or anything ... no problems at all.... Don't know wht to tell you for your problem... Does seem like it could be DNS related, though... especially if you seem to be able to see the other machines on your network and share files OK... Thats probably happening over Appletalk (via Ethernet) though rather than IP??? Od does OS 9 do IP native like OS X does?? Personally, I'd try like Brian suggested and see i you can ping external addresses from the 3400... Have you tried that? I suppose if ou thought it was a DHCP issue, you could try setting up a couple static IP's on your router and assigning a static IP to the 3400... Manually give it the IP, Subnet and Gateway addresses and see if that helps... Cheers, Sionnach __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
