An apple-fancier friend managed to get it to connect to Apple's wireless hub, which in turn is cabled to my DSL modem. My understanding is that the hub connects to the laptop (and will eventually connect to my desktop, over another cable rather than wirelessly) by DHCP, whatever that is, rather than the way the DSL modem connects to the hub, whatever that is. I have the Terrasoft YDL manual, and have tried repeatedly to follow Appendix D on setting up the connection between the YDL partition and the hub; I *think* I have all the info out of the OSX connection -- but that was such a dental-surgery operation that I can't be sure. In particular, I can't guess what the manual means (page 254) by "different network values, such as IP address, for your AirPort card," in the file ifcfg-eth1 nor by the parenthesis in the command (p. 256) for "cleaning the route tables," which looks like this: route del default gw (IP address) I want to use the machine with GPSdrive, which I can't even download till I get it connected. :-( -- Beartooth the Stubborn double retiree & linux hatchling w/ RH 7.2, YDL 2.2, & OSX 10.1 Pine 4.43, Opera 6.03, Pan 0.11.2, Galeon 1.2.5, Mozilla 1.0 Delenda est MegaSleazo! http://www.linuxmall.com/refund/
