Hello!

I am using a PB G4 (OS 9.2) with an airport card. What happens is this: At first I have a decent signal strength. After a couple of seconds I have no signal at all. The airport then toggles between signal and no signal. When there is a signal it is rather high so it can't be that it is in a border zone. I have tried to change the card but no difference. Another computer in the same room works fine.
Anybody got an idea what causes this.

Hopefully soon, since my boss said in his most angry voice "SOLVE THIS"

Thanx in advance!


I go through this sometimes with my PB G4 400 when moving between client offices. In some airport driven places it works just fine, whilst in others my signal fluctuates like what you described.

Some offices are the pits. I can sit my PB right beside a transmitting base station and depending on what angle the PB sits on it can still fluctuate.

Luckily though it doesn't seem to be a problem outside of certain locations - my home for instance runs perfectly, in any room. You might want to check for any sources of interference.

Cheers.
