thanks for those who offered to help me. I somehow managed to get on the internet one day (after being frustrated for days). I really don't know how we fixed it but I bought another Ethernet card (comm slot one, not the pci one). I also bought new batteries for my computer. I still couldn't get on.

I think it has to do something with unlocking under user mode (advance). It is found under tcp/ipp preferences. I remember doing this to pci ethernet card but didn't work but worked for the comm slot ethernet card.

well, thanks again.........  :)

Ps. it sucks because most of the websites now requires higher browsers, that requires you to have OS X to view flash, etc.

I don't know if this helps, but my Powermac 7500 connects to the internet via it's built in 10baseT port easily just by connecting it to my router. 10baseT is a bit slow, so I plan to get a 10/100 card in the future, but once you get your card configured you should have no problem getting online with it.

From what I have seen, if you do have an s900, that is a 9600 class machine and should have a 10BaseT port built in. A 10/100 card was an optional upgrade. You shouldn't need anything other than a CAT3/5 cable to connect to your router.
