Okay, good news and bad news. I went into the hard drive, Apple Extras folder, and found "Network Software Selector". There was TCP/IP. I selected it. I had to restart the computer. Then I opened the control panel, TCP/IP. There were several choices, so I'll start at the top. First was "Connect via:", I selected alternate ethernet. Second was "Configure:", I selected using DHCP server. Third, it asks for IP address, Subnet mask, router address, and Name server address. But all of these have <will be selected by server> beside them. Now the bad news. Netscape still says it can't make a connection. However, I'm not disgusted yet because I'm trying to route this through my DSL modem at home and it probably won't work here. I'm going to try it at work tomorrow on that network. That's where I really want it to work anyway. Any comments or suggestions about what to try? I really appreciate everyone pitching in to help the newbie. I will try to be as helpful to all of you in the future. This is the newest mac that I have, but I have an SE/30, several Powerbook 170's, and even an Apple IIe that I have actually managed fairly well with in the past. Thanks again for all the helpful suggestions, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. Roy
