Status not available

[MarkDilley]

Hi,

I have a G4 laptop with a lynksis wirless router. These have worked together fine for the last few months. But I have hit some sort of brick wall. I get the signal full strenght, but the status is not available. I have: shut down the computer, shut down the routher and redone the settings in the network panel - but to no avail.

Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. Best, Mark

I think it's for Airport Base Stations

I think the status not available is referring to the presence of an Apple Airport Base Station. I get this on my PowerBook and PowerMac because I have a Netgear wireless router. You should still be able to connect and use it, perhaps you haven't validated your MAC address or entered a WEP password yet.

i have the same situation, and i'm also running a linksys wireless router -- is it actually affecting your network connection? if not, i'd say cpjakes' explanation is probably correct.

hmmm

Well,

I *thought* that it was a problem and not connecting at one time. But alas, it works now, thanks. mark
