In short - inability to get online. ;) I'm going through a Linksys router. It sees the ethernet connection (light on) but I can't access web sites, or anything. I'm going to try assigning the Performa a static IP in the subnet and see if that helps. FWIW, the PRAM battery is dead, too. I'm in pursuit of a new one. Don't know if that has any effect. I did have 8.1 on the Performa but took it back down to 7.5.3 for the speed. This machine is going to do only two things: run AOL and Eric's Solitaire Sampler. :P -- *** Amber Rhea *** [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tangerinecs.com /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email X No Word docs in email / \ Respect open standards! -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
