i just found an old mac in my room, i think it is a power mac g4, it is running OS X 10.3
i am trying to get it connected to the internet using a cable straight from it to my router (netcomm), the same way i do with my other mac. however, no matter how many different variations i use of my various settings, it wont connect. i have come down to needing a subnet mask, ip address, and router address. im almost certain i have the subnet mask and router addie correct, but there seems to be no way for me to find the g4's IP.
i have been in system preferences, but all the 'IP' bits are just blank and unclickable.
i dont know if it makes a difference, but the G4 was connected to the internet in the past before we upgraded, so it should have an IP somewhere, right?
