I have a PC that is connected to a cable modem and a broadband router. The router sends a signal to my brother's room so he can go online, as well as to my Apple iBook G4, which has always automatically detected the network and gotten online with ease.
Yesterday, I came home and popped on my PC to play a game. I received a messge onscreen stating essentially that my network was down. This happens periodically when we go through a power fluctuation, as it resets the router/modem. Usually, I just unplug the router for a few seconds than, all is well. However, there was no sign of a household power flux (reset stereo clocks, etc.). Regardless, I reset the router and all was well. Later I was online via WiFi with no problem (on Apple).
I put down the Apple, and when I returned, there was no signal on the Airport icon. I have yet to be able to connect with my laptop since. My PC is fine, however. Any thoughts on what happend and how to fix it? I have a Linksys-g router.

Open Network in System Preferences > Show tab > Airport. In the drop down list By default, join: try it with Automatic
Another thought. If your Linksys has the latest firmware installed it won't work with a Mac. There's a thread on it at the Linksys Forums.

for my area the ibook is in basic terms effective, as in 2 years he would be very very nearly sixteen and could the two choose a speedier device or a motor vehicle... Powerbooks are super, yet seem on the charges. They lose value like a sparkling motor vehicle right now besides, so no count if it somewhat is quite lots college artwork and video games, get the ibook, till the video games are the clarification in the back of the acquisition. Powerbooks have greater pictures memory and speedier processors. we are speaking a pair of latest habit right here.

Sounds like your laptop was connecting through someone elses AP! Run the networking wizard on it and select connect thru lan.
