| Getting OS 8.1 on the internet I'm trying to ressurect an old LC575 (upgraded LC 550) with OS 8.1. I found on the street. I can get on the net easily using the modem. What I want to know is how I can connect this to my router (Belkin) and access my SBC supplied 2Wire DSL Modem. The 575 has the ethernet card option built in and I can access other computers on the network (OS 10.3.9) but I can't get it to see the DSL modem and connect out. I've put in the correct IP #s, DNS ect but I'm affraid I'm missing something. If someone could enlighten me as to what control panels and extensions are needed (apple or third party) it would be greatly appreciated. Now I can enjoy and revisit old my old Hypercard Stacks!!!  |

| Oi... this is stretching back.... do you have a TCP/IP control panel? If so, open it up annd make sure it's configured to use "Built-In Ethernet"... that's a start...

| If that LC 575 isn't receiving the IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS nameserver information from DHCP then it needs to be manually entered. Your ISP can supply you with the necessary DNS nameserver information (which is the likely culprit).

| Adambyte,nixgeek Thanks for the replies. Yes, TCP/IP is is on and ethernet is selected. As I mentioned, I can get onto my LAN ok, it's going out the 'net that's got me baffled. I'm not Using DHCP. I have everything manually inputted and the LC has it's own IP address. I've checked and re-checked the subnet mask, gateway and DNS. Is the DNS no different from the DNS nameserver info? I'll be looking into this, Thanks. RC |

| In the DNS nameserver info, you should probably put the router's IP address so that the computer knows where to get DNS information from... can you post a screenshot of your TCP/IP control panel so we can see what information may be missing/incorrect?

| That is what I thought. Actually, my router's IP address is the Gateway. I ususally put the DSL modem's IP address as DNS. (The DSL modem from 2Wire has a built in USB/Ethernet/Wireless B router. All single port. This functionality is turned off except for the ethernet connection to which the Belkin router is connected.) This works for all the machines in the house.. from a Dell Inspiron running Win2K to two iMacs with Panther and a TiBook and a G5 with Tiger. I have a feeling that Apple's implementation of TCP/IP in OS 8 is not that compliant. The main networking protocol for this OS is still Appletalk. I'll try connecting the 575 directly to the DSL modem and see if that works. As for posting a screenshot, I would love to but I don't know how to do that too. As far as I know, this forum is still text based. Thanks for all the help guys.... |

| You need to enter the DNS nameservers from your ISP into the nameserver section of the TCP/IP control panel. There's nothing wrong with Apple's TCP/IP in Mac OS 8. I've gotten machines like my Quadra 650 running both System 7.6.1 and MacOS 8.1 as well as a StarMax 4000 running Mac OS 9.1 on the internet without any problems. I have a Linksys WRT54G and a Westell modem from Earthlink. All my machines are connecting just fine.

| BTW, screenshots on the Mac are Command-Shift-3 for a desktop screenshot and Command-Shift-4 for a manually selected screenshot.
