Hey, Does anyone know where I can download a hardware test cd, turns out my mac didn't come with one. Thanks

cool, thanks for your help, I'll post the results

could there really be a problem with the hardware? I mean it's only about 4 or 5 mos. old.....hmm, I don't have any other cards, but I'm guessing the computer is still under waranty, so maybe I'll just take it back where I got it.

k, did that, and I still got the on and off connection. sometimes it let me connect and browse, other times it wouldn't connect. I did a ping test (mac to pc) and got diff results, 30% loss, 10%loss, 20%loss, then did a ping test while trying to connect and got 80% loss. Hope that helps.

Hi, k, tried that , but it wan't able to connect at all. I have always used TCP/IP.

OK, connected the Mac directly to the Modem, it detected the internet connection cuz it displayed the IP address and my ISP, but when I tried to open a page it just stayed at loading and nothing appeared, no error messages, but no content.

done, but I get exactly the same thing as before.

Yea, I've tried Safari, but same thing. Ok, I did the ping test, just get "unknown Host" . In Network Utility I can choose the Ethernet Interface, it is defaulted to fw0, but when I select en0 I see the info for my router. Is thins important? is the default set wrong?

OK, I repaired the disk permissions, but I am confused, I thought the disk permissions on the startup disk couldn't be repaired this way.. Anyway, same thing.. One interesting note I failed to mention previously: Upon trying to load a web page with internet explorer, I get three diff...

cool, I will try that.....as soon as my wife gets home and tells me where the disc is...lol thanks for all your help :)

HI, yea, still get the same thing.

Thanks for the reply The router I am using is a wired InexQ, and it works great, my PC is plugged into it and has no problems, I even tried switching ports, but the mac still has trouble. The internet connection and the LAN connection are on and off , one minute they both may be partly...

Hi, My wife has a mac G4 1.25 GHZ, 768 MB DDR SDRAM, OSX 10.3.4 and she is connected to my PC via a router. Recently, the connection to my computer and the internet has been acting strangely. Often the internet won't connect at all, at other times it connects, but the web pages load slowly...
