Hi all,

Im a recent Mac recruit, so just learning about things...

I have a new G4 powerbook connecting to a wireless network courtesy of an airport express base station.

Everything works fine, until i connect a pc laptop to the network. If my powerbook restarts or goes to sleep, it cannot get back on the network and basically freezes. If i turn the base station off, and dont let the pc connect, my mac starts working again...

If my mac is already connected the network and the pc connects, everything works fine.

So it seems that if the pc is already on the wireless network, then the mac can't get on, unless the pc gets off it first...

Thanks for any suggestions,

Oh also, i updated the firmware of the base station to 6.1.1
