Sorry, this is going to be a bit slow, as any iMac / internet testing means I have to disconnect this machine.

Anyway...

Dark: I will try the longer powerdown shortly. As it happens, I DID just pull the ethernet from the iMac and stick it back into the G3 WITHOUT rebooting the other day (fed up with waiting) and the internet connection worked fine on the G3. Haven't tried it the other way round, though.

NTL victim: see answer above to Dark. I will do what you suggest, but I have done that dozens (no joke) of times already.

Mark: no go with the ipconfig getpacket en0 prompt:
Just gives me back
localhost:- allen..... etc. no other data.
(Mind, ethernet currently disconnected. I'll run that test again in a min. when I've connected iMac to modem).

NTLVictim. As I stressed, STB isn't directly on the circuit with the modem. NTL cable comes in the wall, to a splitter (ntl fitted all this, of course). From the splitter one cable goes to the STB, one to the modem. I COULD disconnect the STB (i.e. pull out ITS coaxial) if that would help isolate it. Yes/no?

Chris W. I'll have a got at that lot, and report back when I get stuck.

Allen.
