[QUOTE="the_shadow, post: 1006787, member: 145424"] hello community. I hate to join with a question, but unfortunately, circumstances have forced my hand. earlier today, my oldish iBook G4 suddenly, and without apparent cause, stopped connecting to the internet. it just gives me a "server not found" message. I have tried restarting my computer, I have tried restarting the airport, and I have tried restarting the hughes terminal. all have been ineffective. here is how our internet is set up, we have a hughes satellite (ftl) connected to an airport, sending out a wireless network for our house. my parents laptops also stopped working, but resetting the airport worked for them. not me. :\ I looked through the network settings, and the only clue I could find was a message in the network status window telling me that "airport is connected to the network *blablabla*. airPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet." and, unfortunately, that's all I know. any insight, previous knowledge, or whatever would be welcomed. also, if there is any extra information that would be helpful, let me know and I will try and find it. the Shadow [/QUOTE]
