Like a previouse posting I just got a brand new G5 (made the switch from PC to MAC) I ordered the G5 with the built in Airport Extreme Card, and went out and got the Airport Extreme Base Station, so here is my question.
I have a cable modem and I hooked it up to the base station, the G5 says the airport card is working fine but that it does not get a signal from the base station (and i moved the base station rite next to the tower just to be sure) I then tried to hook it into the lan port and it said it has an ip address, but i could not ping anything or get onto the net. Anyone have any sugjestions? I was a hard core PC guy so if this was XP i could own this in 5 seconds, but this new mac layout has me confused and i thought that all the new macs had the same internet protocal as pc's.
