Hi,
Im new to this whole Mac thing, and the project i have been given is an old one. I have been given an old Mac to repair, its one of the pretty slot loading gummy style IMAC G3s (presuming im right here, i know its old lol).
So here is the problem, everytime the mac boots it trys to connect to the interent. When it is trying to connect you cannot do anything else, unplug the modem lead so it cant connect and the Mac freezes. it does this constantly until it manages to get a connection. Is there a particular reason for this, or is it becomming dead.
It is on dialup before you ask, and generally i do PC support and have for the last few years so some of the older dial up problems i have checked out, im putting it down to software but dont really know where to begin.
Thanks in adavance
