I need help getting DNS to work on a Mac Performa 6116, so we can get out to the Internet. The OS is 7.5.5.

Can you give a little more information about where you are having trouble and what errors if any?

You should have a TCP/IP selection in your Control Panels. In there, you configure your Internet info...typically:

Connect via: PPP

Setup: Using PPP server

Name Server Address: Your DNS entries

You can setup as Manual and assign an IP, Subnet, Router address, etc also.

If you do not have this control panel, add it to your startup (extension manager is the tool, as I recall). You may also need PPP and Open Transport packages added.

Hope this helps...if not, give me some more details and specifics and I'll try to help further. It's been a while since I've looked at 7.5.5, but I'll be glad to lend a hand if I can.
