Wasn't quite sure where to post this but i hope someone can help me.

I have recently bought a second hand g5 (not intel). fo connecting to the internet i'm using the same external broadband modem as my old mac but am having a bit of trouble with it.

After i connect to the internet sometimes the internet remains active for an hour sometimes i seem to lose the connection afte a few minutes or longer.

In the top menu bar the connection is displayed as active but web pages dont load up.

When i go to disconnect the internet it will not appear to be discconected untill i click disconnect several times. And after it eventually disconnects i can't reconnect without disconnecting the usb modem from the back of the computer and reconnecting it.

Then the same will happen again, the connection will remain active for anything from a few minutes to an hour or so and then seem to disconnect.

This is slightly long winded sorry, but it is a slightly annoying problem any sugesstions would be much appreciated. The internet connection is through tiscali if that helps.

Thanks

Have you tried it out with your old Mac since you bought your new one? It could be a coincidence that it breaks at the same time...
