Chris: not sure what I'm looking for on the ifconfig result data.

one line reads inet 127.0.0.1 netmask etc.

another line reads ether 00:17:f2:d0:f7:bb

and another reads lladdr 00:19:e3:ff:fe:6c:6a:94

None of which bear any resemblance to the 213 etc address of my old G3.

(When we set up the G3 connection 2-3 years back, the ntl man gave me these figures to keep:

00:0e:9b:fd:0d:3e
ntlct8cj486

but I don't know what they mean, needless to say.)

So does the sudo command appear not to have worked? If not, and you think it's worth a retry, could you confirm whether or not the iMac should be connected to the modem at that point?

No, no bootcamp installed.

MAC for MAC addresses, Mac for Apple Macintoshes. Do?

Dark: you write...
set a manual IP address in the Network preferences and click Apply, then
change to Configure Using DHCP and click Apply"

Been there, etc., but I'll do it again if you want. What figures should I put in, and where?

Allen.
