To the list: I have sure you have had this question before so please forgive me.
I am trying to resurrect an old Wallstreet and it�s almost �alive.� I am running OS X 10.2.6 on a Wallstreet with a Newer 466 processor upgrade with 512 of RAM with a Lucent Orinoco Gold Card. My ISP provider is Comcast. I am using a Linksys Router which connects to the cable modem. I have an regular Airport base station connected to the router for my wireless net. My wife�s G4 is connected directly through the router and accesses the internet just fine. My main laptop is a Pismo with an running OS X 10.2.6 which connects to the internet just fine. Or at least did until I had a head crash on the hard drive, but that�s another story. I have tried several drivers for the Wallstreet without success. I can connect to the internet with the above setup without any difficulty in OS 9.2.2 with Airport with a great signal using either iCab or Explorer. I installed IOExpert�s wireless driver and much to my delight it worked. Much to my despair it only worked for a couple of minutes. I had previously uninstalled drivers from SourceForge and MacWireless. The SourceForge driver had a simmilar problem to the one listed below. The MacWireless Driver wouldn't work at all. I uninstalled both the SourceForge and MacWireless drivers.I checked for their files and they�re all gone. Here is some information that you may find relevant. The IOExperts drivers have installed without a difficulty. When I go to System Preferences and check the information for the driver, the card recognizes the network, with a great signal strength. I cannot connect to the internet via the WiFi card but can connect using the built in ethernet port without problems. I have checked the network preferences and the Wallstreet is getting a dynamic IP address wirelessly. I have removed the router and tried to connect wirelessly directly to the base station which again works fine in OS 9 but not in OS X. I have reset the cable modem without success. I have repaired the permissions on the disk using Apple�s disk utility repeatedly until their is nothing to repair and again I cannot get it to connect to the internet in Jaguar. In both Camino and Explorer the computer cannot find the site. I have used the Network utility to ping. Again, it works great from my wife�s computer with is hard wired to the router by an ethernet cable but absolutely will not ping anything wirelessly from the wallstreet. I cannot ping anything on the internet nor can I ping my wife�s computer wirelessly. If there is some easy fix for all of this please let me know. It�s particularly frustrating since I�m getting a strong signal and it managed to connect wirelessly for about ten minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
