Hi everyone,
I have a PowerMac 7300 (dual boot Yellow Dog Linux, Mac OS 9), Powerbook 3400 (Mac OS 9 only), an old 10 base ethernet hub and an old Cisco 2600 router.
I'm going to be getting a cable broadband connection soon and I want to check that I have the equipment to be able to use the router as a hardward firewall and make my own little LAN. I have no experience of doing this before. How do you set up a router to work with a specific machine? Is it better to configure router through linux or Mac OS 9? What are the pitfals of using a router?
Summary: I am interested in Mac OS X but now I just want to try it and not buy a g4 or something else----- Can anybody tell me if it is possible to install Mac OS X on a pentium 3? Thanks a lot ...
Summary: I have MAC OS X and how do I setup under TCP/IP tab in Network to make DHCP an option instead of PPP or configure manually? DHCP doesn't show up as an option. ...
