Thanks everyone for their help and advice. We are still working through the problem. Re: the helpful advice about sacking our IT people - actually on the scarce information I provided I would agree with you, but the situation i a fair bit more complex than that (I won't go into it here - but...

Just to finish off this thread... Turns out the problem was caused by a thunderstorm, which did some damage inside the computer. I fixed it, installed surge protection, then the same thing happened again two weeks later. So now I unplug everything when it looks like thunder. Cheers

Worldwalker: I couldn't find Safari 2.04 on the internet (maybe is out there somewhere). Our local mac shop also could not suggest where I could get a copy. However, I did find it on an old computer, so I copied that. The more I look into this, the more I think there are two problems -...

I found an old version of safari 2.04 and replaced the new safari with it. This has fixed many, but not all of the problems - I think some of the compatability issues must have to do with the security upgrade itself. We can do some work on-line, but we can't send invoices and there are...

I just downloaded the latest Security upgrade which took me up to 10.4.11 Bundled in the upgrade is a new version of Safari (3.04). There is no warning anywhere that I could see that this was part of the package. The result is that I am now frozen out of accessing my proprietary business...

Thanks for that - maybe you haven't heard that Eudora for Mac is dead (Qualcomm have stopped selling it, and have stopped supporting it - see: http://www.eudora.com ). The Mozilla / Thunderbird people have put together an 'open source' version of Eudora, called Eudora 8, but it is pretty...

sorry - the version i am running is Eudora 6.2.4 But I think that is what you meant anyway.

G'day folks I am running Eudora 6.4 on five OSX Macs, and I don't want to upgrade to Leopard until I know for certain that it is going to be compatible (as you will know Eudora - which for 12 years has been the best email software in the world, bar none - is no longer being supported by...

Thanks very much to everyone for all your help - which was most illuminating. I ran every test and check you recommended (plus some more) and nothing worked. I have finally found a Mac shop open, and I took the computer there for them to look at. They didn't believe me at first, but after...

Good on you - glad it is working for you. The software I tried was called 'Virtual PC for Mac" (it came bundled with something else, and I thought I would give it a try). It was a total failure - I did manage to get "Minesweeper" for Windows working, but that was all (and it took a long...

Thanks once again for all of that advice. I have done all the things you suggested - but still no internet. Getting rid of the NetworkInterfaces.plist as you suggested did make 'Built in ethernet' reappear in the Network Preferences window - but I am now getting error messages such as...

If I've got a word of caution it is about trying to run Windows on the Mac machine - I have got the same model, and running windows is just not viable - it crashes all the time, and is very, very, very, very, very slow. It might be just a RAM issue (I have 1GB), or my own incompetence (very...

Thanks for your response. The problem is that the ethernet port does not show up at all on the network status screen - and when I open Network Port Configurations 'Built in Ethernet' is greyed out (so I can't tick the box). My thinking is that this must mean there is a hardware problem of...

G'day all Have been using a 24" Intel Core 2 Duo (OSX 10.4.8) for a few months now, accessing ADSL internet via an ethernet network. Last couple of days the internet has stopped working, and I have had to resort to dialup. I have isolated the problem to the computer (it is not the...
