Help getting a q700 on the internet.

Author	Topic
vanman2004 Starting Member USA 33 Posts	Posted - 12 Jul 2002 : 21:56:39 I recently aqcuired an asante ethernet adapter for my trusty q700, and it does work to connect to the network and swap files. However, I cannot seem to get it to recognize my cable modem. The cable modem is connected to a lynksis 4 port hub/router, which is in turn connected to a netgear 4 port hub, which is connected to my q700. Other computers running of the same hub work, so I believe its a software thing. Anyway, the 700 has 20 megs of ram but only a 40 meg drive. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, mark Weapons Expert VanMan2004 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 15.5

After writing out a long description of decent ideas, i cam eo to realize that you didn't list the system that your q700 is running. It's makes a difference on what system it is. P.s. I'm guessing it's closer to system 7 than os8, since it's only a 40 meg drive. _______________________ Sgt.

If not your machine will not be allowed to get an IP. Jeremy "I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon" - Pink Floyd Covert Ops 68k Hacks General Macs Liberated:19 ENTER THROUGH THE GATES

If not your machine will not be allowed to get an IP. vanman has a router, so the Q700 would get and IP from the router (assuming that DHCP is set up correctly). The cable company would have to have the MAC of the router, so the router gets an IP. OS 8 is definitely the better option for using TCP/IP, though it's not necessary.

Weapons Expert VanMan2004 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 15.5 If you are at just system 7.5 you need to upgrade to 7.5.3 first, you need to download these 19 parts: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.5_Version_7.5.3/ transfer them via networking or floppies to the comp. Then you download 7.5.5 from here: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/System_7.5.5_Update/ and transfer the "net install" to your other comp. and run that. ----- TCP/IP server : 216.130.83.218 L: 68kmla p:68000 Http Server URL: Http://homepage.mac.com/catsdorule/ (Web access to manuals) FTP Server: ftp://216.130.83.218/Library/WebServer/documents l/p 68kmla/68000 Edited by - catsdorule on 15 Jul 2002 21:14:09
