Greetings. I wrote recently about the LC575 I donated to my church and am now trying to get connected to the internet.
This might be an old issue, but here's what's happening to me. I am running OS 8.1 (OT/PPP v. 1.0.1, TCP/IP v. 1.3.1). PPP connection through the modem dial-up (SupraExpress 33.6) works just fine. But when I have the TCP/IP Control Panel set to connect via PPP using DHCP server (what my ISP uses) I don't get any IP activity. When I took the IP address from the status window of the PPP control panel and put it into TCP/IP, after changing the configuration to Manual, I was able to get onto the Internet just fine! My question: Why doesn't the IP address obtain from DHCP server option work? What if the IP address changes? I suppose I can continue to keep checking the PPP status to "see" the IP address and then put it manually into TCP/IP. But do I need to (or can I) update any of the control panels to solve this problem? Please advise. Also, I'm still using the Internet Explorer 3.0.1 that came on the OS 8.1 CD (I've downloaded 4.0.1 but still have to install), and the security certificates have expired, preventing me from doing login on a yahoo.com webmail account. Will version 4.0.1 solve this problem? Or how does one go about updating security certificates on older browsers? Thanks in advance. Gary F.
