The Ethernet port on my 600 Mhz, dual usb iBook has a loose connection. Therefore, I cannot connect to my cable modem through that port. Can anyone give me an estimate as to how much it should cost me if I have to replace that port?

Thanks.
 
don't know but it will probably cost almost as much as the computer is worth
you could get an airport card and a wireless router for around 200 and that would get you online
 
i agree

huncamunca is right. It would probably be better to go wireless. It would fix your problem and let you walk around your home

Edit: a suggestion for a wireless router.
Netgear, cheap and works great with my 600Mhz dual USB ibook. its about $30-$50 depending on sales you find. 🙂
