[G4] Networking & OS X v10.3.4

[Brian Conner]

Jim,

Here is what my friend's reply to your suggestion:

These settings are all correct. I have access to the internet, that is not
the problem, it is our local network that only is available with the
original administrator account. When I try to go to it with another user, it
says the link is an alias and it can't find the original.

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.
