    Trouble with wireless on original G4 PowerBook

    Try changing the wireless channel, there could be interference from other sources on channel 11. If you are using encryption, check to make sure both can use the same mode. WEP/WPA etc. Also if you use Little Snitch, check to see that you haven't denied something necessary for connection.

    Airport Express woes

    Change the wireless channel on the Linksys. Keep changing until you find one that works well. Channel 12 works for me.

    How can i have my phone connected at the same time as using my powerbook

    if you have a v.92 modem and your isp supports v.92, you can use a feature that allows you to automatically suspend the dial up session if it detects an incoming call and resume the session when the call is finished. You still can't do both on one line, but it's workable.

    Airport express...what am I doing wrong?

    You need to set up your airport as 'join the existing network' rather than create/extend your network. At the moment your airport is creating a network and so is the linksys. Meaning you have 2 networks, instead of one network consisting of your linksys and your airport. You need one network to...

    Please take away my fear...

    Trust me, just do it. I was in the same position 1 year ago. I jumped, and have never looked back, and will not go back to Windows. As for games, the mac is not really a gaming machine and I suggest keeping a windows pc if you are an avid gamer. As for software, Photoshop is much faster, Azureus...

    XP and Imac g3 wirelss oh yeah add a tiger HELP!

    Yes it can be done, and as you described. Tiger is just an operating system and won't add wireless capability unless the hardware is there already and compatible. I don't know compusa routers. My trick (tip!) is: Do some research. All routers are not the same. Have a look in hardware forums and...

    Wireless Mice.......An Unecessary Gadget?

    A bit unnecessary, but no trailing wires and portability (as in, I can move from computer to computer at work and take my 'decent' mouse with me,) are the 2 advantages for me. Generally I agree with your comments and at home I do have a wired mouse for my old pc.

    Change Hard drive in Lacie?

    Probably (without research!) I changed a duff ide drive in a maxtor external fw/usb which worked. If it's broken anyway, there's no harm in trying if you have a spare drive lying around.
