hi all,
here's a problem for us to solve.
i have a pluscom USB wireless adapter, works great. ive had it for a year now connected to my mac G4 and never had any problems until my HDD broke. now i have a new OSX 10.4.11 installed. everything is fine again.
except! i started with my mac next to my door with a wire to the router in the hallway untill i could install the software for the wireless USB. i installed it and i get a signal and can connect to my router through it. in network pref pane it comes up as a green light 'USB wireless is currently active and has the IP 192......'
but only the ethernet cable works! when i put the USB at top of the list and/or pull out the ethernet cable i get no internet even tho everything says its connected to the internet and im getting 99% connection! best connection ive ever had! why cant i go on the internet with it?
whyyy?!
