I can't get my iMac G4 to find my network. I know the basic troubleshooting and all, I've done research but I haven't found anything that explains whats going on.

I've been using my iMac all day connected to my network. I went to cook something in a microwave in another room, came back and my iMac was disconnected from my wifi channel. I turned the airport off and back on, and now it can't find any networks at all (when its perfectly in range, I have several other apple devices and computers connected to it as we speak).

I've tried rebooting, restarting, etc. But its not even like it wants to try to scan for networks, it just says "No Networks Found". Under the status, it says "AirPort link status not available". I've never had this trouble before and I have been using this iMac for several months now.

Any suggestions/tips/advice? Thanks!


Update: Nevermind. As a last resort I tried reseating the airport card and now it works. Funny how stuff like that happens, because the computer never moves an inch.
