eMac not reading ethernet port when I plug in a good cable
I am now the proud owner of an eMac with the OS X 10.3.9 installed. The previous owners were online with a DSL connection and I have one as well. When I connect my cable to the ethernet port the system is not seeing it. It states that no cable is plugged in. I have been on the phone with my service provider to walk me through the necessary steps, but they are not at all familiar with the apple/mac brand of OS, and quite frankly neither am I. I am tech savvy, but in no way a tech genius. Can someone help, so I can at least use the internet. Thanks in advance
