So, tried that lot.

Tried inputting the sudo command string to no effect. Still says 'not connected to the Internet on launching Safari'; still reverts to a 169 address on Network pane.

Tried just pulling the ethernet out of the modem and reconnecting the G3 ethernet line instead. No go, had to powerdown and reboot etc. (As it happens, got a strange 'Scripting OSAX' message which screwed up Netscape and Outlook Explorer, but which seems to have gone away now, thankfully).

Tried the modem on for five minutes first, before booting Mac. No go.

So, I shall now pull the coaxial from the STB, without much hope of success, and report back again shortly.

Allen.
