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.

Kill it with Fire.
Or do what this says:

Substituting your IP/DNS info, of course.

Can we dunk it in water to see if it's a witch?

Re: Powermac 7200/90
A few years ago I was offered 10 of those for free.
I declined.
I’m not ready to make nice-I’m not ready to back down-I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round-It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could-‘Cause I’m mad as hell-Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

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.
