Sorry .. I am trying to connect to the internet via ethernet 
connections.. I have a Linksys router connected to the DSL Modem then 
through a 5 port switch. The ibook is connected with an ethernet cable 
which is not working. I pointed out that it works Ok when using a 
wireless connection, which I do not have at my place at the present.

I set the network connection to ethernet and have tried both the DCHP 
auto and manual with IP address. The browser            cannot find the 
server.
