Yes, works great. I have it going through a Linksys router, but DHCP (which is what RR suggests using) set up flawlessly w/ OSX PB, I imagine you have the same set up w/RR as I do here in Cambridge MA., so it should work fine.

Yup, same here with RoadRunner in Manhattan. Using the LinkSys router and a 5 port hub. Once your router is prperly configured (that's another topic, but easy still), just select DHCP in the Network control panel and off you go.

Well, I'm running Cox@home in San diego, CA. Running in Classic was just fine. Now that I'm using the OSX Beta, it's slower than a snail. I jsut bought 256MB of MORE ram (Up to 384 now) thinking that it might help, and while it does make the pages in Explorer generate a bit faster, the download speed is still HORRIBLE!! 1.5 kbps on average, 2.0kpbs if I'm lucky. Anyway, the TCP/IP is set up manually since the DHCP doesn't want to work. Also, now that I'm using OS X, the TCP/IP control panel, when I boot straight into OS 9, says that it is being used by another application or is locked. Now I have NO access in OS 9 at all.

Anyway, any and all help is appreciated.

By the way, I really like OS X and think it is going to be a GREAT product. Buy stock now!
