Originally I had Mac OS 9.1 running on my G3 PPC
I could connect to the internet fine here at my house and at the library
after getting tired of Mac OS 9 I installed yellogdog. I loved it, but i have one little problem. I cant connect to the internet everywhere. What is curious bout this is that I can connect to the internet from my house where i sit behind a router, one of those 192.bla.bla.bla things. I had no problems at my friends house either where he also sits behind a router. But when i went to the library i tried ifconfig command and nothing would happen. obviosly their network wastn down because other computers gave me their ip's by runing ipconfig and connected the net. i even tried to restart my laptop but it wouldnt give. I have dhcp installed.
Implying the cat5 cable works and the library allows me conect to the internet; what or where should i look?
oh yeah I did search for a similar problem in these threads but none could relate
dammit no one in my family knows bout computers except for one and its a windows geek :mad:
