'Your network settings have been changed by another app' - THE SOLUTION

Thank you That worked.
Even connecting again was a whiz with no need to punch in DHCP numbers or any thing else. Don’t you just morn OS 9? No Tiger works as good as this question board! Thanks again.
Eric

Don’t you just morn OS 9?

No, I use it everyday, and it sure is sweet to not have to deal with Updates, Permissions, Beach Balls, etec., etec. ! 😉

Internet is the only thing that brings it down... due to te so called "enhanced online experience! 😟

You two are a scream! Not only are you living in the past, but you can't spell either!!

It may be sweet not to have to deal with all these OS X "downers", but try this for me: start a task, like downloading email or something; then bring down a menu. Notice how that entire machine is brought to a screeching halt while it waits for you to decide which menu command you're going to choose?? Now that's modern computing!!

;-}

LOL, how long should I hold that Mouse down on a Menu Item before I give up?

If I held it a week or two, or maybe set a Brick on the Mouse button so I could sleep a bit, I still couldn't recover the time OSX has taken away from me.

PS. I commonly run 13 OSes everyday, perhaps I'm stuck in the old fashioned concept of having an OS or Computer do what I want to do instead of the obverse!?

Name something worthwhile to me that I can't accomplish in OS9, or even on my Ataris, and I'll grant you three wishes!:)

*+Name something worthwhile to me that I can't accomplish in OS9, or even on my Ataris, and I'll grant you three wishes!:)+*

LOL, indeed! Okay, how about importing an 8GB SD card of RAW images, converting them on the fly to DNG and backing them up to an external disk in Lightroom, while at the same time ripping a DVD to .mp4, printing a 100MB Photoshop file at 13" x 19" on an Epson R2400, all while watching a movie on hulu.com?

;-}

Let me know when I can get my three wishes...

And sorry, BDA and I have hijacked this thread. I apologize for both of us!!

Yes, we did, but none of the things you mentioned are useful to me, nor help me in my Biz.

My lowly Quadra/630/7.5.5 handles Live Video or TV, plus 4 X-10 security Cameras & two Motion detectors, while playing CDs, while running two important custom APPs... with no slowdown.

A 16 MHz Falcon can edit Video/Audoi in Real Time, Eudora checks & downloads 10 eMail accounts in the time Apple's Mail takes to try to check one.

Sorry, no Cigar yet! 🙂

*+...none of the things you mentioned are useful to me, nor help me in my Biz.+*

Okay, now you're playing fast and loose! You original challenge didn't reference any qualifiers about "usefulness", now did it?? It's not really about whether anything is "useful" or not to any one person, or we wouldn't be using computers at all! You're just rationalizing, and you know it...

;D

And how the heck am I supposed to know what is "worthwhile" to you???

Give it up man, you're showing your true colors!

Just configure a MacPro that can do what my Q630/32MHz/36MB listed above can do, then tell me how much it would cost to replace it and be able to do soooo many things I have no use of John!

If you'd like to cnynue, I can be reached on..

You have got to be kidding me. Seriously, my Mac Pro can do more than two dozen of your trusty Quadra, in it's sleep! And I love how you're so proud of the limits you're willing to place on what you have use of!! Amazing, the lengths some folks will go to try and resist change.

Don't get me wrong either. I'm no Apple fanboy/apologist. There is no shortage of examples that I'm all too willing to enumerate of ways in which Steve and his boys have messed up over the years. But seriously, you've really got to be kidding me if you think your old Quadra is some sort of miracle machine!!

As if the speed at which ANY machine can "check 10 eMail accounts" has the slightest bit to do with the software on that machine?!? It's the mail server(s), man, not the speed of the email client!!

Okay, time to end this debate... You win, your Quadra really is ten times better than my Mac Pro, I admit it. And I'm going to hit eBay first thing tomorrow to see if I can get me one of them high-powered jobbers. Then I can really get some work done!!!

You misunderstand... certainly your MacPro can do more than my Quadra does.. it just can't do what my Quadra does and what I need to do.... big diff! Best wishes. 🙂

BDAqua and John I. Clark please would you take your OS9 OS X discussion elsewhere - it is totally off the topic.

Thank you Robert, I've suggested such . 🙂
