    PowerBook 520 - Can't Get IP Address

    Hello again, back from the dead. Powered up the ol' Mac and behold--the internet works! I guess I must have messed up some extension settings or something but it works now so I'm happy. Had fun playing Flight Simulator 4 and Spelunx tonight :b&w: I tried posting using iCab but besides...

    PowerBook 520 - Can't Get IP Address

    Hello again, I tried hooking up my PowerBook G4 to the 520 directly with an Ethernet cable, making AppleTalk active and while I didn't have any luck with the Apple branded AAUI-15 to RJ-45 transceiver, I did at least get the status light on the Asante to light up solid green and flicker rapidly...

    PowerBook 520 - Can't Get IP Address

    I won't get to troubleshooting until much later tonight if at all unfortunately, but wanted to ask some clarification on both of your suggestions. 1. Would I be testing to see if I could ping the Powerbook 520 from another machine? And what is ICMP? 2. Would I be able to acquire a private IP...

    PowerBook 520 - Can't Get IP Address

    I was able to get online successfully, so I have been downloading a lot of files. But then it stopped working one day! OpenTransport 1.1 I believe. Yes to DHCP.

    PowerBook 520 - Can't Get IP Address

    Hello everyone! Cobalt reporting in from the trenches after having been AWOL for awhile... :b&w: I recently acquired a PowerBook 520 from eBay (around the same time oneboyarmy got his 520c coincidentally) and have been having fun playing Spelunx and downloading other old games, trying to...

    Less Spam?

    This is why we need an eWorld clone. (Don't you just love it when I pop out of nowhere? :p )

    Any Value in Boxed Software?

    Cool! I shall have to try that one day (when I bag another 680x0 one of these days...). Unfortunately this was way back when, so I don't have any pictures. But I remember making that discovery so vividly. I guess I was wired to be a computer geek when I was born! heh Thank-you for the time you...

    Any Value in Boxed Software?

    Builder code? You can make your own caves or something? Were the stories of Professor Spelunx and Mr. Seudo the same as the ones inside the books on the bookshelf in one of the caves? (I remember there was stories or diaries to do with the characters) My favourite thing to do in Spelunx was...

    Any Value in Boxed Software?

    I love Spelunx! I used to play it all the time on my Mac Classic when I was young (before I was even in Kindergarten!). :beige: Is there anything in the manuals/instructions for Spelunx worth noting? I've never seen them before.

    Orinoco Wireless Card Problem

    Try resetting your AP. Can you test its signal with a different WiFi machine? LCGuy: Does the ORiNOCO Gold card support WPA? I thought it could only do 128-bit WEP?

    iBook G3 Screen Hinge

    Hello everyone! I'm glad to be back here - it gives me the same cozy feeling that I get when I'm in a big library! :p The hinge for my iBook G3 is a tad loose - when I close the lid, at about two-thirds of the way down it will drop down on it's own. Hopefully it doesn't get to the point...
