Wendi, some routers require you connect the target computer, the G4 to the router direct at first, to sync the router to the Mac. I know i have had to do that on some occasions. See if you can cable the mac to the router, then set permissions/access. Once the router "sees" the Mac, you should be able to use it wirelessly. Good luck
