I'm facing some strange Internet issues after changing to a new Motorola - SURFboard eXtreme 802.11ac DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem and 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Router and I am not longer to connect to Internet.
This is the error message that I'm getting:
Error 6: Unable to resolve host name - Morph OS 3.3
This is my setup:
1. Cable modem connected to IP wall connection
2. Ethernet cable connecting modem directly to a Netgear powerline network adapter (this is the same adapter I was using with my old DSL modem/router)
3. Second powerline network adapter connecting through network cable to Mac Mini G4 1.5
These are the full specs of the modem/router:

I'm very baffled with the fact that MorphOS is not connecting or recognizing the network directly as I always did with my previous setups.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
