Turn off the Firewall on the one that's sharing the internet. That might help.

hi leetom,
the firewall is off, its just odd that the laptops network status says i'm conected but cant open any web pages!

I mean, you have to turn off the firewall on the G4 tower, so that the Powerbook can access the Internet. Not sure if I was clear about that. It's something to look at though.
