Wanted :)

If anyone has Macs or Mac parts in the UK that are looking for a good home then please let me know. Anything considered, although I'm a sucker for a PowerPC, and I can do cash/collection.
2 Operating System / Re: Performa 6200 On 7 with no IP

Hello :)

Thank you for the warm welcome to the forum!

Yes, System 7 is great. I have a Power Macintosh 6500/275 as well and just re-installed a fresh 9.1 onto a 4GB flash hard drive and the Performa 6200 with its clunking drive and OS 7 still boots quicker!

You were right @bolkonskij, you guys did get me connected! Thank you for all your replies.

So I went onto TCP/IP settings, I actually didnt know the advanced settings in here existed..., then I unchecked the Load only when needed and also added the Subnet mask and router IP, and after a minute, hey presto it picked up an IP from the DHCP so I'm online :)

Any recommendations on a web browser for 7, which do you think is best?
3 Operating System / Performa 6200 On 7 with no IP

Hi there!

I've acquired a Performa 6200 recently (actually from another member on here!), and I installed Mac OS 7.6.1 on it. It flies! Much faster than the 8.6.

However, now in 7.6.1 I dont have a network connection. It doesnt seem to be collecting an IP from the DHCP server and when I set a fixed IP in TCP/IP settings it doesnt ping from my other macs. It worked great on my network before and the green is light is coming on when I plug the cable in. Any ideas?

I ran that little app before installing 7.6 to check for any logic board errors but it says all is well. Any ideas on how I can start diagnosing the problem?

My only go-to next step would be to download another 7.6 version from macintosh garden and try again but it seems to running all okay with everything else, just the network. I'd like to be able to transfer files.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated! Thank you.

Richard
