Hi. I can't get on to the Internet at home any more so I am typing this at work and hoping my boss doesn't catch me.</p> I have a G4 iMac, you know, one of those really nice white dome-shaped ones, and I have been running OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). I have been using an ADSL modem connected by USB to get on the Internet and everything has worked fine.</p> Now, though, I have upgraded the system to 10.4 (Tiger) and I can't get it to find my modem. When I try to connect it tells me that the communications device does not exist. It does, though, because it is sitting there next to the Mac with all its green lights flashing away.</p> When I go into the Network area of System Preferences, the drop-down menu does not include an ADSL modem like it used to under the old system. It offers three options: Ethernet, built-in modem, or Firewire. None of which I want. I want my ADSL modem option back. Can somebody help please?

All right. Two options you can try. First, in System Preferences under the Network pane click the "Show" drop down box and there select "Network Port Configurations". This will give a list of options you can enable to connect to the internet. I would bet your modem option does not have mark in the check box. Select this and you should now be able to go into the Network Status and configure your modem. If this does not work, launch "Internet Connect" in the Applications folder and that should also allow you to set up your modem, maybe even more efficiently than in System Preferences. Good luck!
