To the list: I have sure you have had this question before so please forgive me.
I am trying to resurrect an old Wallstreet and itıs almost ³alive.² I am running OS X 10.2.6 on a Wallstreet with a Newer 466 processor upgrade with 512 of RAM with a Lucent Orinoco Gold Card. My ISP provider is Comcast. I am using a Linksys Router which connects to the cable modem. I have an regular Airport base station connected to the router for my wireless net. My wifeıs G4 is connected directly through the router and accesses the internet just fine. My main laptop is a Pismo with an running OS X 10.2.6 which connects to the internet just fine. Or at least did until I had a head crash on the hard drive, but thatıs another story. I have tried several drivers for the Wallstreet without success. I can connect to the internet with the above setup without any difficulty in OS 9.2.2 with Airport with a great signal using either iCab or Explorer. I installed IOExpertıs wireless driver and much to my delight it worked. Much to my despair it only worked for a couple of minutes. I had previously uninstalled drivers from SourceForge and MacWireless. The SourceForge driver had a simmilar problem to the one listed below. The MacWireless Driver wouldn't work at all. I uninstalled both the SourceForge and MacWireless drivers.I checked for their files and theyıre all gone. Here is some information that you may find relevant. The IOExperts drivers have installed without a difficulty. When I go to System Preferences and check the information for the driver, the card recognizes the network, with a great signal strength. I cannot connect to the internet via the WiFi card but can connect using the built in ethernet port without problems. I have checked the network preferences and the Wallstreet is getting a dynamic IP address wirelessly. I have removed the router and tried to connect wirelessly directly to the base station which again works fine in OS 9 but not in OS X. I have reset the cable modem without success. I have repaired the permissions on the disk using Appleıs disk utility repeatedly until their is nothing to repair and again I cannot get it to connect to the internet in Jaguar. In both Camino and Explorer the computer cannot find the site. I have used the Network utility to ping. Again, it works great from my wifeıs computer with is hard wired to the router by an ethernet cable but absolutely will not ping anything wirelessly from the wallstreet. I cannot ping anything on the internet nor can I ping my wifeıs computer wirelessly. If there is some easy fix for all of this please let me know. Itıs particularly frustrating since Iım getting a strong signal and it managed to connect wirelessly for about ten minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
