[QUOTE="mac57, post: 336470, member: 17052"] I would start by ensuring that nothing is messed up in your network settings. Check out your System Preferences -> Network thoroughly to be sure that you may not have inadvertantly changed something. Do the settings look the same as the settings for the G4... focus on anything that is different. Also, be sure that your cables are tightly seated (did you use the same cable when you moved the modem to the G4?) and that the port on your modem is OK - I once had a 4 port DSL modem where ONE of the ports quite suddenly went bad. So be sure once you have things working with the G4 that you try your G5 using the same port on the DSL modem and the same cable. Literally just unplug the cable from your working G4 and plug it into your G5. So, no need to get draconian yet. At this point, there is not yet enough information to recommend reformatting or reinstalling. Lets walk through the above debugging steps and take it from there. [/QUOTE]
