Well that was interesting.
I got home knowing that the DSL service should have been activated. I went into my TCP/IP control panel and put in the ISP’s settings. I quickly unwrapped a few cords and the DSL Modem (a Cisco Router).
Each time I plugged a cord in, I was rewarded with a new green light.
Power cord: Green light.
RJ-11 phone cord from the wall: Green light after 20 seconds.
Ethernet cable to my Mac: Green light.
I opened a browser window and boom. It worked. It simply worked. I followed through step 4 of 7 and it worked.
So I plug my Mac back into the ethernet hub, and switch back my G3’s TCP/IP settings. I plug the Cisco Router into the hub as well. I open up the Airport Admin Tool. I give it the same settings I just gave my Mac.
I turn the router off and on, save the Aiport’s settings.
I open a browser window. It worked. I open a browser window on Amy’s G4 Titanium…
It worked.
It just worked.
It just fucking worked.
