Hardware / 5300 Internet Access
July 01, 2006, 01:30 |
Thanks for the info regarding the 5300 series, but this is a PowerBOOK 5300, not a PowerMAC 5200, so the article that you pointed to doesn't seem to apply (although I seem to remember something about the 5300s catching fire on occassion). The only other system I would give her would be the PowerBook 1400, but as that's the last PowerPC computer I have that has SCSI and a drive bay for which I have a CD-ROM, floppy and Zip drives, I'm hesitant to let go of it yet. The 5300 doesn't have a CD drive and I don't have a SCSI CD-ROM drive to connect to it. Thanks, Chuck |

Hardware / 5300 Internet Access

Thanks for the welcome. I've had your site in a Safari tab for months, hoping to eventually get System 7 emulated on my MacBook Pro. But it became especially useful when I began trying to configure this 5300. I actually began using the Mac during the System 7 days (or at least not to long before, about 88 or so). Installing it on the 5300 has brought up a lot of memories. If I get the 5300 set up for my mother-in-law, then I may try to get the 1400 up for the kids to have as a second computer (they currently share a clamshell iBook). That seemed to work. I didn't think it would because at one time my ISP had suggested something similiar and it didn't work, but that was when the system was running OS 9. The access is as slow as molasses, but it works, so my mother-in-law should be able to chat with her grandkids and see pictures (hopefully on our .Mac account). Thanks for the help. Now I can clean this up a bit and ship it off to her with the modem and printer. Thanks again. Chuck |

Hardware / 5300 Internet Access

I'm trying to get a PowerBook 5300cs up and running for my mother-in-law. I've installed System 7.6.1 with the rest of the recommended software listed on this site. The PPP control panel connects to the Internet, but IE5 cannot see any web pages. I actually tried this originally with Mac OS 9.1, but took it down to 7.6.1 when I had the same thing happen under 9. PPP reports the status as connected, TCP/IP reports that it is going through PPP and is being configured via the PPP server, when I launch IE, I get an IP address, but no web pages load. Basically, I'm at a loss, and am about to give up and just give the computer to her without net access or possibly try again with a 1400 I have. But any hints anyone can provide would be appreciated. Thanks, Chuck |
