I am going to get rid of this computer if I don't get it on the internet. It is a mac performa 578 and i need help because all the thing does when i try to get on the internet is an error occured while iniatilizing the serial port. The Computer has 36mb of ram and is a 66mhz with a us robotics 33.6 mac modem. If i don't get it back on the internet i will buy a whole new mac because i am not going to have a computer with no internet that used to work on the internet.

Have you checked the network settings,
your ISP should be able to help. With out
knowing more about what may have
happened. If things all of a sudden quit
working proberly, your battery may have
died. Is the date going to 8/19/56? Other
than that, if you recently installed
something and you can't get on to the
internet from that point. You may try to
delete it completely and see if you can get
on the internet. Without knowing more
that's the best I can do.

Good Luck
