hi.
i had problems with my ethernet port, so i'm using a usb-ethernet adapter to try and connect to the internet.

i downloaded the driver, and in the Network Status, there's a green light and it tells me that the Ethernet Adapter is active and it has an IP address and I'm connected to the internet.
however, when i open up safari, it doesnt seem to think that i'm connected. i've tried opening up internet explorer in OS9 too, and that won't get me to the internet either

i'm running OS 10.4.6 on a powerbook (its the model of powerbook that was the last update before the MacBook came out)

(i'm using the driver for the usb1.1 - USBPegasusEthernet - because when i downloaded the ones for usb2 they didnt seem to work at all and didnt show up in the System Profiler, whereas the 1.1 one seems to be showing up in the system profiler ok.)

(i'm not much of a techie, so if you've ideas of what i could do, i might not understand if its in highly techified language)

thanks.
