Calling all Mac Experts & Fan Boys:

My powerbook G4 has zero problems connecting to the internet at home (wireless).

My Mac desktop suddenly quit.

...So I took it to the Apple Store & no problem! It worked right off the bat.

Got it home, still won't connect? It's OS X. Any ideas???

I'm using a Linksys router - their best one. It's not a weak signal issue.

Each time I try to get online it asks me to reset the router (with the desktop, not my laptop). I've done that still to no avail!?!?! WTF?

I have you tried it with a hard-wired connection to determine if it's a wireless issue only?

Can you install windows? Get an actual/real operating system installed and that should do the trick. OSX is kind of like the software thats running on your calculator at home.

This is actually a remote control from 2014. Look how many cable channels are available! Almost eight million!

"Nothing".

Well, my Mac laptop works fine... It's just the Desktop... and it USED to work fine... I guess I'll have some computer dude come over and T-shoot it for me.
