internet busted
hi and it's a great day...
yesterday connecting to the internet was fine on my powerbook pismo 500. i connect to the internet using a cable modem.
the service is bipond advance broadband but that wouldn't be useful to anyone. my problem: when starting up my computer, i held down f6 (a silly thing to do since i didn't know what would happen) to see if the funny noise when turning on the computer would not appear. (on the computer f6 is the mute key). it didn't work and since then the internet didn't work. iknow its not the internet service provider's problem because i can connect on my imac. i checked all the prefs and they were fine. i know that there is nothing wrong with the ethernet port because when i plug the cable into the port the dhcp ip address appears in the system prefs. i don't know what is going on. does anyone know what i'm missing. im posting this from the unaffected machine.
hi again

I don't use OSX, but it's Unix, so check for a file in /etc/resolve.conf on your iMac while connected to the net, and make sure the same info is on your Pismo when connected to the net.
Hope this helps(?)
<strong>Sounds like your Domain Name Server isn't configured. While DHCP usually handles this for you, my system (running linux) recently had a similar problem.
