Giving you the illusion that you need to be online in order to transfer files.  It still shows you as connected but the truth is the router is not working correctly.  You IP address is still up and so on.  I say go to the local computer store and purchase a Cross over Ethernet cord.  It should not cost more than $10 bucks or so.  Connect the iMac to the PC that way.  This bypasses the router and gets you connected.  It's also much faster for transferring the files.  Good luck.</blockquote>
