I have had a similar problem with my iBook G4 with a '802.11g' Airport
card. My wireless router is 802.11b (D-Link) and the other computers on
the network (a Mac and a PC) have '802.11b' cards and they never lose
the connection. The iBook G4, however, seems to lose the connection
whenever it is idle for any period of time. Turning the Airport card
off and then on again clears the problem quickly enough, but it's still
a pain. I had always guessed it was an issue with the 'g' card running
on a 'b' network. That's my experience, but I can't offer any
solutions.

Hi,
I have been having a repeated problem with airport that I have been
trying to solve. I have an original base station at work and one
shared off a late model (airport express) eMac at home. Going back
and forth occasionally my machine (iBook G4) will just refuse to
connect to the old base station. A PowerBook (express) and older
iBook (plain airport) never have this problem. It will only resolve
with a reboot. Often the iBook will still connect when I get back
home and to multiple other b and g networks (my apartment building has
lots of networks). But, if I wait long enough it will start to lose
them as well. The machine recognizes the access point but it self
assigns its IP. Has anyones else run across a similar problem?
