I'll work on the assumption that you have Open Transport active... 1. Download a copy of a ping utility and use this to test numeric IP addresses. A favourite utility of mine for older Macs is Network Toolbox available from http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/network.html. Use the ping tool to test a numeric address on your own network, a numeric address at your ISP (eg their DNS servers) and a numeric address elsewhere on the internet. Let us know the results if this fails and provide a copy of *everything* that you are entering in the TCP/IP control panel. 2. If you can ping numeric addresses OK, try manually setting the DNS server addresses of your ISP in the TCP/IP control panel and restart your Mac. Older versions of Open Transport don't do DHCP very well. Phil -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
