Thinking some more about your problem...

I think I remember you saying you had a strange IP
address listed?  Or am I getting you confused with
something else I've been working on ;-)

Anyway, if thats the case, then DHCP isn't working for
you.

Straight off, double check all of the settings on your
TCP/IP tab.  If they all look right, contact your ISP
and get the block of IP's they assigned you.  They'll
give you a range of numbers like 23.xxx.xxx.20-
23.xxx.xxx.24 or something like that.  Find out what
two addresses your other Macs are using and which one
your routers using and pick a free one.  Assign that
as a manually entered IP address on your 3400.  Make
sure you enter the Subnet Mask and Name Server
information (DNS) - very important.

Once this is done, if you don't have a PING program on
your Mac, go to Apples site and download MacTCP Ping. 
Using a Ping utility, attempt to PING the IP address
of your Router from the 3400.  If you can't ping the
router, try pinging the other Macs... If you can't
ping the other Macs, try pinging yourself.

If you can Ping the router, but you can't access the
internet, it's likely a DNS issue...  Try opening your
browser window and instead of typing www.xxxxxx, try
typing in an IP address.  If you don't know the IP
address of a website, try 161.58.225.20  Thats the IP
address for redriver.com  See if you can surf to the
site using IP address rather than name... thats a sure
sign of a DNS issue.

Cheers,
Sionnach
