When I signed up with Verizon, i had to use my iMac, running OS 9, to do the initial sign-in, when the idiotic software that Verizon sends you negotiates the username and the password. As I recall, those two things showed up in the TCP-IP Control Panel (I think that was it) that the Verizon software installed. I wonder if the same thing shows up somewhere on the machine you used to establish the account. Have you checked the Network Control Pane?<br><br><br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

You mean the password shows up in the Network control panel? I never checked there. <br><br>"If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. "

I'm not guaranteeing that, greenme--but in OS 9, it showed up in the "Verizon TCP-IP Control Panel"--or whatever it was that the Verizon software installed to do the PPPoE negotiating.<br><br><br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

Ok, I'm in OS 9 right now (man is it ugly) and all i see is something called "Verizon Online DSL" that has my username and password. But the password is encrypted so i can't get it from there.... any other ideas?<br><br>"If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. "

Wasn't encrypted when I first got it. Maybe they've "refined" their methods <br><br><br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

Take a look at the instructions for using the Linksys router here I purchased the router for $115.00 (Australian so you can almost halve it for US) and after following most of the instructions I was up and running with 3 machines (G4 450 PB 400 and a 7300) in less than 10 minutes. None of these machines are running OSX yet so I dont know if it will make a difference. It was too easy!<br><br>Need a laugh? Visit CreatorDude.com
