iMac G3 Ethernet problem

[26139]

Okay, here's a weird one. I've got a 400mhz G3 iMac with an after market hard drive, running 512 ram. Never had any problems with it until now.

It can't connect to the internet. Safari can't find the page, mail won't get mail, etc.

Steps taken so far:

Rebooted
Used ethernet cable on different computer (worked fine)
Reset all the TCP/IP settings

Weird things...
When I go to the Network pane in sys prefs, ALL the correct lights are green.
It's getting an IP address
None of the other computers in the house (two connected wirelessly, two connected via ethernet, two macs and two pcs) have any problems.

Any advice?

Maybe a modem problem? Maybe give it some time. Turn off the modem and try again. Shut down and turn off all the power and try again.

Need more information... What IP address is it getting? Does it start with 169.x.x.x? Is it set to get an address via DHCP? Is it behind a router? Is the router set up to give it an address via DHCP? Is the Mac's MAC address in the router's allow list if you are using one? Do you have any other computers connected to the Internet through the router and can those access the Internet? Can they access the Mac? Can the Mac access them?
