Hi folks....
I sure appreciate all of the help. I have made progress!! Yea! But can not seem to make Netscape 3.0 go any place. However, it is trying.
Just a quick recap - With the Farallon network card installed, I get a green light on the network card in my Color Classic. When I run the test program with the Farallon software, everything comes back as Test OK. In another test program with the Farallon software it says:
EtherMac LC-TP
Type: Ethernet - csmacd
Max MTU= 1,500
Speed = 10Mbps
Physical Address = 00:00:C5:18:00:7C
Admin Status = Up
Operational Status =Up
This is what I have done:
1) In control panel, I have a network icon. I have set it to LocalTalk Built in.
2) I also have a MacTcp icon. I open it, then click on "More", and I come to a second screen. My choices (among many) are:
Obtain Address Manually
Server
Dynamically
The first time I tried it I, I chose Manual. I then wrote in my default gateway IP address and entered in the IP address of the subnet mask. I have a bunch of other selections that I have no idea what they are are, or what they do. For example, on the right hand side of the screen I can select Class A, B, or C
After I rebooted, I found a program on my Color Classic called Mac Ping. I launched it and it said my TCP setting were wrong. So I re booted and changed the settings in TCP to "Dynamically". When I did this, it populated the fields with the correct default gateway IP address and correct subnet mask IP address. I had to change the A, B and C setting to C in order to make it write out the entire sub net mask IP address. I rebooted.
I launched Netscape. It did not error out as before and try to dial out on a phone line. Netscape 3.0 has a URL in it already and it is http://alck.apple.com I received this error message from Netscape:
"Netscape in unable to locate server http://alck.apple.com. The server does not have a DNS entry. Check the server name and location (URL) and try again"
So, I typed in: http://www.google.com
I received the same error message as above. It seemed that no matter what I type in I receive the same error message.
I read both URLs that were posted. I am unsure of the correct setting in my Network icon. Do I want it set for LocalTalk Built in?
I feel like I am really close. I printed out all my network data after a "ipconfig" dos command on a PC. I used the same network cable in my Color Classic to obtain this information.
Could it be that 7.5.3's TCP icon wants the IPv4 IP address (the IP address Comcast is sending to my modem), and not the DHCP IP address that my access node is tossing down stream? I do not think this is true.
I feel like I am 90% home. I just have some settings set wrong I believe. But I do not know what.
any more suggestions?
Thanks again for all the help. I am very close now!
