I feel sort of dumb for not being able to figure this out, and hopefully it's just a small oversight.
Anyways, a client of mine gave me their old PMG5 tower that they were essentially going to huck into the trash because they didn't need it and didn't want to bother selling it.
So I took it home and wiped out the data, I didn't reinstall the OS yet as I'm still looking for my Leopard discs.
It's a Power Mac G5 (7,2) Single 1.8ghz PPC / 2.5GB RAM / 1.5TB HDD / nVidia GeForce 5200 64MB
Currently running OS 10.5.8
I don't expect to do much with the unit but I thought it would make a useful media server or wireless backup hub.
This is where I ran into a snag, it has an Airport card installed, but gets no signal, and when connected directly to my Airport via ethernet it shows up on the network, says it's connected, but can't actually get online. I can remote access it, operate it as a headless unit, and connect to its drives to transfer files, but the unit itself cannot go online.
I've tried resetting the network settings, clearing the plist files and changing DNS tables based on other posts I've found from the past, but nothing seems to be working. I'm stumped.
Any ideas?
