Saucer from past
« on: September 14, 2011, 09:08:52 AM »
Good morning. It's early for me but im on vacation so I'm on my wife's schedule. And she wants to use her ipad.
I am running 10.5.8 on my pre-intel G5 iMac. I have a white Saucer extreme airport. The little net works pretty well, when it works.
Last night i think it was the cable that went out. I dissembled everything and put back together this morning. I can get on if i leave the saucer out. Otherwise it looks like it will work but it doesn't.
My hookup is the cable modem into saucer in the port that has a circle symbol. The G5 is in the port that looks like <--->. That way i am hardwired for the iMac and our iphones and ipad can use the wireless. But that set up is not working. I even tried reversing the inputs.
I use automatic under the Network tab but it  doesnt work unless the saucer is left out. I've tried unplugging everything but it's not working. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm not sure how anything wireless worked with the Airport "left out"...unless your cable modem is also a wireless model? dntknw.gif
