I use cable. When I wake my G5 Nothing that need the internet will work. I can't play radiostations in iTunes, can't send or get mail, no web sites. I just have to wait. Just now I've no problem at all. This also happens: Sometimes I'm 5 minutes using the net and suddenly I no longer can use it. Everything worked flawless for around 10 days. It now just started to go nuts. Last night I would close iTunes and got a spinning beach ball. I needed to restart. Couldn't do anything else. But when the G5 is still working (on the net) it will be forever as long I keep him awake. I want to open a .mov file, the slider will move but no sound. I've to wait 15 minutes.
