Funny how I refer to my own article for reference sometimes...
In case you might need to look up your DNS under Mac OS X:
Open System Preferences. Click Network. Select the service (AirPort, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Firewire) and select Configure (this is under 10.4). Click the TCP/IP tab. If nothing shows up under "DNS Servers" (unless you configure a different DNS) then head to Terminal and type this:
This is what mine reads out at the moment:
I will see about setting up an FTP server under System 6 sometime soon. I really should do that so I can supply a System 6 Network Restore Disk. There's a 7.5 Network Access Disk but it won't boot my SE/30 even with 7.5.5 installed*, so a System 6 disk should be easier to manage. I supposed I could work on a System 7 Network Access Disk, but System and Finder barely fit on to a 1.44MB floppy. What I could do is use "1430K FREE" to enlarge a floppy space size, then strip SSW 6 down to the bone. System 6 is really doable for this, as System 7 wouldn't really give you any advantage (unless you somehow managed to install and fit OpenTransport to communicate with 10.4) and even at that, System 6 is really clever for switching boot volumes (like a RAM Disk or floppy) without restarting.
* I figure each major version updates the bootloader, just like with Mac OS X to a degree: I installed 10.5 first, then Windows XP, then 10.4, which messed up the bootloader so Windows wouldn't boot.
