Hi. I finally sat down last night to set my 5300 for use on my home network, only to realize that I don't know what I'm doing.
This is a bit embarrassing, as I have set up hundreds of pc's for this same thing, and had no trouble at all doing so with my eMac, in both classic and ten. I found the tcp/ip control panel pretty easily, set it to dhcp server. the ip address doesn't display, although it says it's getting it from the dhcp server, in this case, the router? I set the router address. Still nothing. The little lights on my asante ethernet card are blinking, so i don't think thats the problem. I'm running 8.1. I have a copy of 8.5 and the updater for 8.6, but it's on cd and i need the ethernet connection to get it on the hard drive. I went from System 6 to Win 9X to OS X, and quite honestly, i feel a bit lost in 8.1. Much of this stuff I only vaguely recognise. Can't seem to find a version of stuffit that will run on 8.1. Gah! Any help you guys might be able to offer is of course, vastly appreciated! Thanks! -jeff hewitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
