OS X internet hosed
I have been unable to connect to the internet at all (no ports, email, web, you name it dead) this evening in OS X. I lost connectivity earlier today and was able to get connected again after resetting my router and DSL modem. Now even after several resets, restarts, etc I cannot connect at all in X. I connect just fine on the same machine booted into 9. My 6100 running 9 has not had problem one today. I have tried changed the TCP/IP settings to force the machine to reacquire a dynamic IP.
I have a G4 400 running 10.1.5 and 9.2 on a dual boot system (The hard drive is in 2 partitions, one OS each). The machine is connected to Verizon DSL by way of a Linksys Router/Firewall (and a DSL modem obviously). ANy ideas? I really don't want to deal with reinstalling X and all it's related patches if I can help it, not to mention apps, etc.

Reboot into X and use that adress as a static IP. If it works, you know that the problem is with the dynamic addressing.
You won't be able to use the static address forever, but that might help diagnose the problem.
Also, try using the network utility to ping the router, if you know it's IP. That would help narrow in a bit.
if you ping a website (i.e. <a href="http://www.apple.com)" target="_blank">www.apple.com)</a> it won't be able to find it.
however, 208.205.23.3 will be no problem.
go to your network control panel in OSX and enter the following.
where it asks for Domain Name Servers, enter in
134.84.84.84
128.101.101.101
then apply it and see if you can access websites.
while you're at it, this should work ('cause it's only with numbers, no names)
go to this site.
<a href="http://160.94.131.148/default.htm" target="_blank">http://160.94.131.148/default.htm</a>
if that works, then try something like <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">www.google.com</a>
edit: NM, i see you already got it.
enjoy.

"Fusarium Head Blight (Scab) of Small Grains"
I just don't want to know...
they did bio weapons research back in the war, but nothing that fun today.
at least not for now.
