Can anyone please tell me how to connect my pismo with the T3/DSL line that the hospital inforemation system uses? Is it safe? They have these out let on the wall that looks like ethernet port.
Thanks in advance

if you tell a machine to use DHCP then there's no other setup involved.

it has nothing to do with being a mac.

fyi: i doubt that your hospital's network will readily hand out a ip address and tell you its nameservers. you should probably call some network admins and ask before you plug it in. i was a resident and no one was alowed to tap into the hospital's network without permission. you don't want anyone thinking you're looking at sensitive material or storing any confidential patient data on your machine.

Yes, you are correct. The hospital is most likely not using DHCP and an IP address will need to be assigned.

I work at a medical facility and we do use DHCP. Security is delt with in other ways. It probably will work for web access. However you will need a user name to access anything on the domain (servers and such). That will need to be given to you by an administrator.

PS. Windows NT and security still don't add up in my book

In addition, unless you are using Connectix DoubleTalk or Thursby's DAVE in OS 9, you will have to request to the administrator to add file services for the Macintosh to the NT Server to access files. With this method, you may also have to install the Microsoft UAM module for NT authentication purposes.

This is NOT a POWERBOOK SPECIFIC question in ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

Please be considerate of what forum you post in, and read the yellow note.
