Wiping the OS was probably a little premature in your troubleshooting process; have you checked your router's settings? Specifically, make sure it's in "mixed" b/g/n mode, as the Airport Extreme cards in the G5 iMacs only support b/g Wireless. Also, make sure that the encryption/password settings you are using will work as well; WPA/WPA2 should work fine with your G5. I would also run Software Update and make sure you have the latest version of Leopard (10.5.8) and the Airport software. -- [Greg Bennett] -Independent Carpenter, Electrician & Lighting Designer -Purveyor of Classic Apple & Macintosh Gear http://www.hsiprodsvcs.com/ http://www.macshack.us/ -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
