Thanks to all for the feedback. FIRST, to clarify: The G5 is a late 2005 model (Dual Core 2.3GHz). It has two built-in Ethernet ports. SECOND, I checked the console.log and system.log. Hopefully, the following will provide a clue: The console.log shows (quotation marks added): "WirelessAttach: getInterfaceWithName failed" This line repeats about twenty times, then "mDNSResponder: Repeated transitions for interface en0 (192.168.1.46); delaying packets by 5 seconds" "mDNSResponder: NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.1.1." The system.log reads as follows: Feb 25 23:17:34 Herbert-Goodfriends-Power-Mac-G5 kernel[0]: AppleBCM5701Ethernet - en0 link active, 100-Mbit, full duplex, flow control disabled Feb 25 23:17:54 Herbert-Goodfriends-Power-Mac-G5 kernel[0]: AppleBCM5701Ethernet: 0 4 setupCopperPhy - link is down Feb 25 23:17:57 Herbert-Goodfriends-Power-Mac-G5 configd[38]: posting notification com.apple.system.config.network_change Feb 25 23:18:00 Herbert-Goodfriends-Power-Mac-G5 lookupd[792]: lookupd (version 369.8) starting - Thu Feb 25 23:18:00 2010 THIRD, I plugged the Ethernet cable into another computer (PowerMac G4 MDD 2003, also running 10.4.11) and there was no problem mainaining the connection. The console.log reads similarly: lookupd (version 369.8) starting - Fri Feb 26 09:38:56 2010 Feb 26 09:39:08 Herbert-Goodfriends-MDD mDNSResponder: NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.1.1. Feb 26 09:39:09 Herbert-Goodfriends-MDD configd[38]: target=enable- network: disabled There was nothing in the system.log that seemed relevant. Again, thanks in advance for any suggestions.
