Well, I'm having the problem again. I tried the lookupd -flushcache, but that didn't solve it. After examining my network settings, here's what I discovered. When I choose DHCP, then initiate a TCP/IP operation (ping my router), the IP address pops up as "self-assigned". Setting my IP address manually doesn't seem to help either. I can't remember what I did the last time to get to the point where I could see the router. Could this have to do with my use of a PCI 10/100 card rather than the built-in ethernet? Do I need any special drivers for OSX? It's weird that it works intermittently. Charles -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
