I have an old iMac and have been trying to get it hitched up to my modem but it keeps trying to dial up some old Internet number. I know nothing about macs anyway and am completely lost on this piece of computing history. Does anyone know how to get it to recognise my router?

Oh, that's a bit small!


The top yellow one says:


Apple Remote Access.

The modem is not resaponding properly. Reset the modem, check t's connections, and check that the correct port and modem type are selected in the Modem control panel.



Where is the Modem control panel? How do I get the Imac to recognise my router? I don't have a clue how to change the internet settings.

I managed to find out how to connect to a network and that seems to be the ethernet settings but I need to give it an IP address, then a subnet mask and finally a router address. I have the router IP address and used that for both the IP address and router address, but what is a subnet address?

    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported it? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
