Kevin,

As others have mentioned, we need to know how you're connecting to the internet - if you are connecting via ADSL, John's point might be appropriate.



The eMac in question is linked through a 5 port switch to another eMac connected to the net by an ethernet DSL-300 modem. The main eMac doesn't have a connection prompt, but the linked one does get the prompt. It is not a great problem, but one I could do without.

Why isn't the DSL-300 modem connected straight to the 5-port switch, and then the 'another' e-mac also connected to the switch? In fact I'm not sure how you can have the eMac connected to the DSL-300 modem and the switch as AFAIK the eMac has only got one ethernet port.

Thanks,
Shay


Sorry,

Obviously I have described the setup incorrectly...you are correct Shay. Still leaves the prompt problem.
