Q: PowerBook 5300cs - can't access internet
Thanks to those who helped me with previous 5300 questions. Jan, your suggestion for using a PC card with an SD card inside was a big help to getting software back on this machine.
Now I'm trying to get the 5300 on the internet. From software that was on the 'Book when I got it I could tell it had been used on the internet before. I'm running OS 7.5.5 and I've installed Netscape Navigator 3.04. I put a Focus Enhancements MV16-EN comb video and ethernet card in this 5300. I did all the configuration that the Focus software required.
I connected the 5300 via ethernet to our DSL modem, to which the G4 that I'm now using is also connected. When I open Navigator on the 5300, it comes up with an error message saying, "Netscape was unable to create a network socket connection ..." How can I get past this?
Thanks.

John,
Just one question. Are you using the TCP/IP control panel? That is, the Network Software Selector in the Apple Extras folder has been set to Open Transport (not to "classic networking" = MacTCP).

I've got the TCP settings set as best I know how.
