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?

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
