Okay, I pulled up the MacTCP control panel. I have 3 choices at the top of the screen: EtherTalk (A), Ethernet built-in, and PPP. I have selected EtherTalk (A). At the bottom of this screen is an IP Address, currently showing 8.0.0.0, and then a "more" button below that. I'm not sure what the IP address should be set at, the network guru said that wasn't important for our network. Anyway, when I click on the "more" button, I get one screen with four sections. The first section is "Obtain Address" and 3 choices: Manually, Server, Dynamically. I have Dynamically selected. Below that is Node Range: From: and To:. I have From 1, To 126. The second box is Gateway Address:, currently set at 0.0.0.0. The third box is the busiest. I have Class:, currently A. I have Address:, currently 8.0.0.0. I have subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0. Then I have Net:, set at 8, Subnet: set at ), and Node: set at 0. There is also a slider currently set with 8 bits Net, 0 bits subnet, and 24bits Node. The fourth box is "Domain Name Server Information", showing different addresses. The previous owner has Hiwaay.net, with IP address 208. 147.144.2. I have changed to a blank Domain with a blank address, which is probably not going to work at all, but something to try. I don't see anything about DHCP, so I'm assuming I don't have that option. thanks again for all the help, I really appreciate it. Roy
