[G4] sawtooth connecting via ethernet

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

I have a Belkin wireless router connecting a G4, G3 and a Toshiba 
portable to a Comcast provided modem and I have never had to "Spoof" 
the MAC or make any changes to the Belkin default settings to gain 
access to to internet. The G4 and G3 are hard wired and the Toshiba is 
wireless.

The only thing that I've had to to is follow the procedure that I've 
provided before on this forum.

If I want to connect directly to the Comcast provided modem from my G4 
I have to follow the procedure of removing power from the Comcast modem 
and then connecting my G4 and next powering up the Mac. That's all 
there is to it, very easy.
