[G4] Networking & OS X v10.3.4

[Jim Pacyga]

Having administrative access is not necessary to get access to the 
internet.  However, I believe that OS X uses individual profiles to 
load the internet settings.  I.e., just because he set up the primary 
account holder on the machine does not mean everyone is in luck.

He should check the settings in System Prefs->Network and make sure the 
settings for Ethernet are correct and that Ethernet is enabled.  It is 
also possible if the machine is getting its addressing info via DHCP 
that the other users are not set up to configure via DHCP and that he 
simply needs to change that selection from Manual (or whatnot) to DHCP.

If he did that and still can't get access to anything write again.
