Okay folks here is the deal:
I have the newest powerbook g4 1.73 with 512mg ram 80g hd Jaguar and the airport capabilities that came with the pb.
I have successfully connected to wep and wpa networks in the past with no problem, mostly at school and work. Two weeks ago I bought a linksys wireless b router and used my pc to create the network and set the pswd ect. I had a horrible time getting the mac to automatically log on to the network. I had to manually go to the admin page and reset the security settings for it to get recognized by my pb. I spent nearly an hour with linksys tech trying to figure out the problem when he finally told me to contact apple support. Of course it is not thier equippment so they didn't offer any.
I returned the router to my dismay.
School recently started back up, I opened my laptop, connected to the trusted network, opened up my browser and BAM! "unable to connect to server" -- I also recieved this message at work, so I know it wasn't thier netowrk.
What puzzles me is how I didn't do a thing in OS X to create my home network, so how could it have affected my airport settings?
after googling the problem I deleted my airport .plist file. This didn't help a bit.
Since then I have run cocktail to repair permissions, clear caches, ect. all the 'pilot' options. hopefully this will help what ails me but I doubt it. just a precaution.
So how do I repair my airport connections?
remember - my laptop connects to the networks but no browser can connect to any servers. IE, FF, safari, Opera, non were able to connect.
Can someone please help?
