Sucks. I wish I had gotten a skin for my old 3G. Now I have a new black 5G and I'm babying that thing like none other until the Contour Showcase for 30GB ships.

There are a few wireless ISPs in the metroplex. Cable/DSL/Fiber/Etc not available where I am. Wireless is the way to go! Connections are through DHCP. 10.0.1.1 is the ibook, 10.…

You've renewed the G5's lease through the Network Preferences pane? If it's a server or gateway issue, that should fix things. I'd try an actual turn off-wait two minutes-turn on…

I've renewed the license a bunch of times...but I hadn't though of restarting EVERYTHING. The computer(s), yes...but this time I shut everything down AND unplugged the base statio…
