On the mac, what'll need to do then is set it up manually. This will require the DNS numbers. If your ISP didn't give them to you, you can usually get them by right clicking on the connection monitor (It's the small icon in the system tray, next to where the time is, it should look like two small computers whose screen dim and brighten. select Status (should be in bold). in the window that appears select the support tab, and then the details button further down. copy down the IP addresses found after DNS Server (there should be at least two, but not always, maybe even more.)

Once you have these go over to your mac and go into the ethernet setup. Change it from DHCP to manually under the configure options.

Set IP address to 192.168.0.XXX (replace XX which whatever number you provided that it's between 5 and 250)

for subnet, set it to: 255.255.255.0

and for router set it to 192.168.0.1

in the box for Domian Name Servers your going to put in the numbers you copied from the PC. after you type in the first one, hit return and type any addition one on the next line (ie you want one per line)


If it still doesn't work go back to the PC. For your EHTERnet connection, right clikc, go to properties. In the window that appears double click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the window that appears make sure that it's set for "Use the following IP address" with IP address set to 192.168.0.1
with subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0
you can leave default gateway BLANK. After I post this I'll post screen shots so you can see what it should look like.
