I have a friend who is having a difficult time with his 700mhz G4 iMac. 
He had DS:L installed and it's not working for him. I don't have access 
to an iMac of this vintage.

Can you normally see the ethernet specs in the profiler and if so, 
where would they be? If it's not working, I'm guessing he can't put a 
new card in, it's a motherboard issue?

Diane,

You left out some needed information about the problem and the 
equipment being used. I usually follow this list of questions to find 
the problem source with DSL installations:

1. What DSL service is being used?
2. Has contact been made to the DSL service company for support?
3. What was installed - software? hardware?
4. How was the software (if any) configured?
5. How was the Network Preferences configured?
6. What browser software is being used?
7. What DSL modem is being used?
8. What physical connection is being used - ethernet cable, USB cable, 
wireless card?
9. Has that connection been tested for functionality?
