Try hooking up the ethernet back to the Airport, and turn off your DSL or Cable modem. Let it sit for about two minutes, then turn it back on. The cable modem might have an IP address tied to the MAC, or hardware, address of the G4. This should reset the connection so that it uses the MAC address of the Airport instead. Hope it helps!
