Feb 11, 2012 8:42 PMby Yangdong,HelpfulHi,
On the 'About This Mac', i don't see what you listed above.
Mine says;
(a big)
X
Mac OS X
Serial Number (When I click on 'Serial Number' it says, Build 5R106)
Memory: 128 MB
Processor: PowerPC G4
TM & (C) Apple Computer. Inc. 1983-2001
This is all and I don't see "more info"
Does it help to figure out?
I was wondering if this is too old computer but than, it was connected two days ago.....
Thisgs I touched was about the 'Network' settings.
Location:
Show:
TCP/IP
PPP
Proxies
Modem
Configure:
and Apply Now
and I am not sure what I toutched and that made the internet disconnected....
Hope this helps...
Thank you.

Feb 11, 2012 8:54 PMby BDAqua,HelpfulWell, this is tough without knowing eben what version of the OS you're running, but with only 128 MB of RAM it has to be an older version.
When you click on About this Mac you don't see someting like this???
If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...

Feb 12, 2012 5:22 PMby Yangdong,Of course these ar not from the Apple on the top left.
These are from networking set up taps and I think, my interent connection got disconnected when I touched the options on this perferences...
Location:
Show:
TCP/IP
PPP
Proxies
Modem
Configure:
and Apply Now
And these are from what I told you that I got from Apple logo click, if you missed it.
(Just like your sceen printed on the earlier post but missing "software updates" and "more info" buttons.)

Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.

Feb 13, 2012 8:29 PMby MichelPM,Hey BD!
If the Poster's eMac is one of the very first 700 Mhz models, it originally shipped with OS 9.
No OS X.
OS X Puma did have a 10.1.4 version, as I have an old OS X archived update with 10.1.4.
So, it might be possible that the OP is correct with his info.
This could be a really old eMac.
The About this Mac pop-up window, if I remember was very basic and was completely different from what has been the "standard" Get Info pop-up window since OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
It looked like this
It's entirely possible the OP has a very old eMac.
