Hi Ronni, > The details look setup correctly - Router and DNS settings. You are not > having self-assigned IP addresses 169. > Gateway 192.168.0.1 - 255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask > Are all on the same Subnet Mask?
Yes, but I've just made it work (for now!) doing the following: booted up one of my heritage machines, manually set 192.168.0.1 as the ethernet DNS server came back to my machine and manually set up 192.168.0.1 as the ethernet DNS server and that worked! Geoff's machine, currently using the wifi connection, still works, although it currently shows 192.168.2.1 as the DNS server While doing that I saw that the modem on my machine has the router as 192.168.0.1 but the router on the old machine is 192.168.2.1 I think that this latter info is a pointer to what is going wrong - these machines have, for some reason ended up pointing to different IP addresses, none of them local. None of this has stopped us sharing files/disks on the network, and prior to it all going wrong I changed nothing at all in any network settings on any of the hardware. … Despite getting it to work I removed the manual DNS settings, shut everything down, tried a PRAM reset. Booted everything up, with no connection. Reset the manual DNS - it didn't work this time. I'll try it again tomorrow. Like the subject of this email says - intermittent and unpredictable. We are back to wifi, which is still working. We are getting to the stage where we might just buy another dongle for Geoff and give up trying to share mine. The wifi does drop out at times and it isn't a satisfactory way to work. Cheers, K ------------------------ Kaye and Geoff k...@kgweb.org.au
