Broken network card:(

hi,

i live in university halls with no wireless connection and have found out that the newtwork input for my Mac g4 audio visual is broken.

when i plug in a wire it says that there is nothing plugged in but when i use a wire into somebody elses laptop it woks fine. the system settings are all right.

however i cant simply change the network card becuase it is a part of the motherboard!

is there any way i can get some sort of external USB or firewire network adapter or something? or even get an internal one to work on my mac?

many thanks

Yes, you can buy a USB network adapter for your G4. Try this Link.

Note: The above is wireless only. I could not find a straight USB network adapter that was not wireless. You can always use this adapter with a wireless router, however. Which I suggest you do anyway.

Regards.

hi, i found a USB to ethernet wire adapter, they sell them in most good electrical stores to any future readers, for around £20
