[QUOTE="init6, post: 259617"] I'm in the [b]exact[/b] same boat as fossman. My iBook G4 is about 15 months old. I bought it with the express purpose of taking it to Moscow with me while I was studying there and, of course, because I wasn't eligible for AppleCare (Florida sucks) when I bought it via Apple's website, it died about a month before I came back to the US. $400 later I have a new Logic Board and RAM (I don't think the RAM needed replacing, but I digress) and the thing is flaky as heck on my home network. My router and cable modem work fine, because there is a PC desktop attached via cable and a PC laptop via Wi-Fi attached to the network and they both work flawlessly (understand why I'm getting upset? Two PCs work and my Mac doesn't?!!). The iBook has the same issues with staying connected when I'm sitting next to the WAP as well as across the house. I used to be able to go to System Prefs=>Network=>Assist Me=>Diagnostics and straighten it out. Now nothing works and it just tells me it can't fix the problem. It's also not likely to be the Airport Extreme because it works fine at both the local B&N and in my pub (they have wi-fi). Please help before I have to find out where Steve Jobs lives and travel to California. :oneye: Otherwise I'll be posting a link to eBay where you can find my excellent condition, 14" iBook G4 for sale. *EDIT: Netgear Wireless Router, all clients use 802.11b. No machine is more than fifty feet from router. [/QUOTE]
