Hey there,
I've got a PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.2.8, which I'm trying to connect to the internet to download some updates and install some applications I need. I connect it to my cable router via ethernet cable and go into Network settings in the Preferences panel. Built-in Ethernet is selected, Automatic location by default, and I've got DHCP selected, so I would figure it would automatically renew my IP address and TCP info and get me online, but its doing nothing. Even when I copy the IP address and Subnet mask numbers from my desktop Network settings and put them into my PowerBook and click Apply, I still can't get online and my PPPoE indicator in the top righthand corner just keeps saying Idle.
What's going on here? Can anyone help me? Thanks. :[
