thanks for that, but the only reason i want to try that is because i can't get my router to work with my g4. It works fine with my IceBook like i said earliar and i even switched the cables. the port that is plugged into the g4 from the router has an led that should be a solid green but it just flashes green showing me that it isn't connecting to the g4 or something along those lines. I'm going to call SMC tech support again sometime tonight (whenever i have an hour to wait ) and see if they can help more or maybe if the g4/router is flawed.
