Thanks for the help Elfen.  Yes, the ethernet cable plugged into the back of my Color Classic is plugged into my router.  I can take the same cable and plug it into my blu ray player and stream Netflix, or plug that same cable into the back of my PC and my PC will connect to the internet.  So I know I have a good connection up to that point.

Yes, I have a Network icon in control panel.  It will let me make only one of two choices.  It's default was "Local Talk Built in".  My other choice is "Ethertalk".  So I switched it to Ethertalk, and then re booted.  That did not help.

Would upgrading from 7.5.3 to 7.5.5 give me more LAN support?

I can not figure out what to try next.
