I actually have two problems that may or may not be related and found this forum surfing the web for answers I could understand.
I have a G3 Lombard, 400 MHz, running system 10.2 (with no additional version designation) I only use it away from my office and its become clear that a high speed connection would be useful.
1. The ethernet connecton dosen't work at all. I spent two hours on the phone with the ISP and they too are stumped. Is this likely to be a hardware problem and, if so, what would I have to do to correct it? Selecting the built-in ethernet and DHOC (?) settings it cannot pick up a signal from the provider. I know the signal is there because when plugged into the old Gateway PC next to it, it works perfectly.
2. Wireless? I cannot seem to find out exactly what wireless card/accessory will work with this machine. I'm open to using a usb device but everything I've seen so far seems to require the operating system be upgraded to 10.2.x (I'm unsure what the "x" signifies but it implies a system later than the one I have.
I don't have a problem doing any of these things but I am adverse to buying things I don't understand that don't work because I bought the wrong thing. I've already done that a few times!
Thanks, and I hope this isn't too general a question.
