Hello G-listers:
I have a dual ethernet ABS (old model - about 3 years old) connected
to a cable modem.
Yesterday, it appears to have stopped working with my wirelessly
connected G4 tower / G3 700 iBook, and my daughter's G4 tower.
My son connects his PC to the LAN port and he is not having any
problem.
He admitted tinkering with the ABS - but claims ignorance being a PC
person.
Was he "tinkering" before or after it stopped working? (I'm a parent too
so I have to ask :))
Usually when something like this happens, all I have to do is to
disconnect the power and wait for about a minute
to reconnect and my network name reappears under the top menu. This
time it does not.
Re the monitoring lights on ABS:
Light #1 (left) does not flash to indicate any activity via Airport.
Light #3 (right) flashes - indicating activity via Ethernet port and
keeps my son happy.
Light #2 (center) stays lit green - showing ABS has power.
Will a hard or soft reset fix this problem or Is my ABS dying?
Do I need to re-enter everything or is there any easy way to restore
Airport network settings?
If you can temporarily connect one of your Macs to the LAN port you
should then be able to run the AirPort Admin Utility. With the Admin
utility, you can save your configuration settings. A reset or two would
certainly be worth trying.
Hope this helps,
