G3 iMac running 10.2.8. Machine has sat for about 4 months without use before getting it out to set up for my recently married son. PRAM battery is OK. Can connect to my ISP without problems but it goes nowhere from there. Will not connect for mail and Safari will load no pages. What prefs do I trash to start over in case one of the prefs is messed up?

When the machine was running before, it was connecting wirelessly by way of a Belkin USB adaptor and was working fine with my 800mhz iMac with an airport card and airport extreme base. Now can not make the thing work with a regular connection.

Any other thoughts?

If there is more than one "live" network connection, OS X will attempt the top one. If that fails, then you won't get to your destination. If you are connected to a local network, make sure it is lower priority than your modem. This is done by changing the order of the interfaces in System Preferences.
