We have four Macs in our house, all running 10.5.8. There are two G5s, one G4, and a Macbook Pro.
All the computers are connected to the Internet by a Zhone modem that has a transmitter inside it that allows us to have a LAN. This modem is connected to one of the G5s with an ethernet cable, and the other G5 and the G4 have 802.11n/g/b wireless stick adapters with antennas plugged into their USB ports, so that our computers can not only get on the Internet but they can share files with each other. All the computers have the same things checked in the Sharing pref panel. Both G5s and the G4 have no trouble sharing files on the LAN. But the Macbook can't. The Macbook apparently has an Airport card in it, because the other computers can "see" it on the network, but they can't connect with it. When they try to, the connection just hangs. And the Macbook itself doesn't "see" any of the other computers. We tried plugging one of the wireless USB adapters into the Macbook, but nothing changed. The Macbook still couldn't "see" any other computer, even though the other computers could "see" the Macbook, but could not make any connection with it. This Macbook is the only Intel Mac we have. Could that have something to do with the problem?
