    Since the update from 3.2 to 3.3 I've a strange problem with my PowerMac - most of the time I get no internet connection after starting the machine - I've to reboot the Mac for 3 to 6 times to get the machine online. If I have managed to get online the PowerMac stays reliable online till to the next reboot - after a reboot the procedure begins from the start. When I boot OSX I'm always immediately online - every time - multiple tested. I've already changed the networkcable - any suggestion for this problem???

    PowerMac G5 2.7 Ghz 1GB RAM, Radeon 9800pro, MorphOS 3.5.1 registered with ChrysalisPack - dualboot with OSX.


    Hi AMike,

    It may be a failure to get a network address using DHCP - have you tried setting a static network address?

    You will need to know your router's IP address (eg 192.168.0.1), and an available
    IP address to use for your MorphOS system (eg 192.168.0.101).

    RMB on desktop>Settings>System..>Network

    In the Network Interfaces tab:

    Ensure the checkbox next to the entry for your network connection is ticked (On mac-mini this is sungem_eth, Pegasos 2 rhinevia, blah, etc).
    Select the 'Static IP address' option button.
    Enter a valid IP address for your MorphOS system on your network (eg 192.168.0.101)
    Enter Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0)
    Enter the Gateway (your router) IP address (eg 192.168.0.1)

    In the Host and DNS tab:

    You must enter at least one, and up to 3 DNS server addresses.
    On a standard network, entering your router's IP address should be sufficient.
