I am sharing my internet connection through my Mac Book Pro (Internet Sharing to computers using AirPort) and intending to use it with my older Powerbook G4. Sometimes the AirPort signal is great and everything works, but most times the signal suddenly disappears and my Powerbook can no longer pick up the signal or connect to the network (network timeout), even though they are only one room apart. Is this my Mac Pro Internet Sharing that is the problem or is my G4 going out or my internet connection or what?!

I should note also that the G4 worked just fine with a router, but because internet reset too much (I have comcast) it effected the internet speeds through the router and I had to keep resetting the router every time I used the internet. I keep all my software up to date, both are running Leopard.

Thanks!
