The static IP should work, that's how I have my Quadra 630 running 7.5.5 connected to the internet, through a D-Link router. You'll need to fill in a few things besides IP, though I can't remember offhand what they were, maybe router address and search domain or something... I couldn't get DHCP to work under 8.1 on my 6400 either, so I upgraded to 9.1 and it worked great. Obviously that's not an option on the Quads though. -John -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
