I am trying to connect to a public network's internet while on vacation. For some reason when I plug in the ethernet cord to my powerbook G4 (15" 1.5GHZ 10.4.11) I cannot get an internet connection, and I can only get a self assigned IP.

On my dad's powerbook G4 (12", 1.25GHZ 10.4.8) there is no problem connecting to the internet.

I tried to even change my interent from DCHP to Manua, still to no avail).

Both compuers are using the same cord (I am moving it from one to another). I have restarted, renewed DHCP lease, and pretty much run out of ideas.

Does anyone have ideas as to what is going on? I also can tell you that 2 days ago the eternet was working fine from my home on my computer. Also, in Network status on my computer it can detect when I am plugging in and pulling out the ethernet cable. It just can't seem to get a IP.

Thanks for any help.

Peace,

O
B unce!

Cross posting is a bad thing. Your thread in the Networking forum is not only sufficient, it's in the right forum, which this is not. I've moved the relevant posts to that thread and closed this one.
