I just got a new 12" G4 iBook with Airport Extreme yesterday, was sort of an upgrade/sidegrade trade-in from my old 12" Powerbook, the original 867mhz, which also had Airport Extreme.

But it never threw my wired G3 Powermac offline when using the internet, or while trying to transfer files! If I try and connect to my G3, it will somehow disconnect it from the router, and I'll have to reboot my router from the iBook to get it back on! Sometimes it'll disconnect it quickly, sometimes I'll be able to transfer some files over. Seems to be worse when the G3 is booted into Panther than in Jaguar.

Why can't they be friends? I've had computers fight over the available bandwidth before, but that was before I fixed a setting in the router, and as soon as one machine would stop transmitting/receiving data, the other could connect to the internet and do what it needed to do. But my G3 can't even ping the router, even though it's directly connected to it, when this happens.

Any idea why, and how I can fix this to get my files transferred?
