I have an almost new Powerbook G4. It had been connecting fine on both wireless LAN and dialup.
I was surfing fine on my wireless LAN connection. Until I re-started the PC.
After re-starting, I was no longer connected. So say my browsers and FTP client. But going into the System Prefs, Network, it tells me I AM connected, and Connect is greyed-out.
I tried several times, re-started again to no avail.
Later I tried it on dial-up to see if that worked any better. (It was already configured and had last worked fine on dialup.)
Of several attempts, I was able to get a connection ONCE.
But the other times I could not connect; just got an error message. Several times I alternated, that is, I failed to connect on the Apple, switched the phone cord to my HP, got right on, switched the cord to the Apple, could not get on, Switched back to the HP and got right on again. So it's not the ISP.
Yet, like I said, it's not consistent: I was able to connect one time.
