I have a really complex and weird question.
I have an iBook G4 and connect wirelessly at my home (through a netgear router, i believe). I'm the only mac and haven't really had a problem until recently. For some reason, my brother's computer clashes with mine. He has an Acer that runs on XP and whenever they are on at the same time, AIM wont work for either of us OR browsing the web wont work for one of us. To get it back to normal, we have to completely reset the network by shutting everything down and unplugging/replugging everythign.
Also, I can see them on the network, but they cannot see me. I do not know if that has something to do with the clashing, but I think it's odd that my computer doesn't behave that way with the other windows machines in my house. Does anybody have ANY idea what I could do to fix this? I've searched forever and can't find anything anywhere!!
