Configuring your network connection

In order to browse the internet, check e-mail or download software, a network
connection must be configured.

It is assumed in this guide that you have a standard setup with a router to
which all computers are connected.
If you have a different setup, and/or experience trouble configuring your connection,
please ask for help.

- Configuring a wired internet connection

Connect one end of a network cable to a spare port on your router, and the other
end into the network port of your system. If your system has more than one network
port (eg Pegasos 2 has two onboard network ports) make sure to note which port is
used.

Boot your MorphOS system.

-- Automatic configuration

MorphOS included network stack supports automatic configuration via DHCP.
If your router is set to automatically configure attached devices (ie DHCP server
is enabled) then your MorphOS system should automatically configure itself upon
system boot.

If your router is not set up to automatically configure attached devices, or your
system fails to obtain an IP address from the router, see the 'Manual
configuration' section below.

-- Manual configuration

MorphOS makes configuration of the network connection very simple.

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, expand the entry for your network connection:
(On mac-mini this is sungem_eth, Pegasos 2 rhinevia, blah, etc)

Enter an IP address for your MorphOS system (eg 192.168.0.101)
Enter Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0)
Enter Gateway - your router's IP address (eg 192.168.0.1)

In the Host and DNS tab:

(Optional) Enter a hostname to identify your system on the network (should be
unique on your local network). Ideally this should be 8 characters or less.

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

thank You!! ill try this. im using a wifi adapter with a cell phone wifi hotspot so the ip address of my phone is teh router ip adress?

If I understand rightly, you're plugging a ethernet > wifi adapter into the ethernet port of the Powerbook.
This is then allowing you to connect to a wireless network.

Is that right?

EDIT: Just re-read your first post.

USB > WiFi adapters are not supported I'm afraid, so the Belkin 150 won't work for you in this case.

There are a two options for connecting to a wireless network on the Powerbook:

1) Using a supported Cardbus wireless adapter (the long thin slot on the left of the Powerbook);

Supported cardbus (aka PCMCIA) cards include: Netgear WPN511, Cisco Aironet AIR-CB21AG-A-K9,
Netgear WG511T, TP-Link TL-WN310G . More information here if you wanted to dig further.

2) Using a ethernet > wireless adapter.

Any wired > wireless adapter should work - they always plug into the ethernet port on your Powerbook, and will often take power from the USB port, but don't use USB for data trasfer like a USB > WiFi adapter. Examples include Asus travel WiFi / 3G router WL-330N3G, ASUS WL330-gE, LB-Link BL-MP01. AGain,, more info here if you're interested.

Option 1) (using a cardbus adapter) is highly recommended: it works well, and there are no dangling cables.

If you don't have a ethernet > wifi bridge or a supported cardbus card, then you would need to use a wired connection (eg to a router) to connect to the internet.

Thanx Very much Boot!!
ill go shopping in the am it seems !

I only see mention of an iMac, not a PowerBook. If it's an iMac, CardBus isn't an option.

BTW, a lot of dedicated wireless bridges are overpriced. Some cheap routers can operate in bridge (wireless client) mode.

Neil! Good to hear from you matey, hope all is well.

In a recent thread thaddeus was asking for help with a Powerbook - I'm assuming this thread is for the same system.

EDIT: fixed broken tags
