Powermac 7200/90
A friend at work has an old Powermac 7200/90 that he used at Uni many years ago. He has a lot of work on it and wants to connect it to the internet. He has run a cable from the router to the mac but it wont connect, is there any settings or anything else that we are missing.

Make sure TCP/IP is set up correctly and turned on. Especially for the appropriate port you will be using. i.e. built in ethernet

Kill it with Fire.
Or do what this says:

Substituting your IP/DNS info, of course.

A few years ago I was offered 10 of those for free.
I declined.

To be honest... without grabbing a g3 upgrade for the 7200 its probably going to be dog slow on the net.
7200s are lousy upgrade candidates. One of the very worst PowerMacs evar.

I used to have a 7200/120. Was Dog slow. Even a 300Mhz Beige G3 runs like crap on my broadband.

Your broadband has nothing to do with it.
