Go to the documentation that came with your hub that should have the settings and passwords. I have tried it for my Belkin dongle and it worked! good luck! Chris suggestion for dob.irl

When you hit renew lease do you get assigned an IP address? What is it? Under Network Status what does it say? It does sound like you're close! You can access the wireless internet with other machines, right? Jordan Do you have configure IPv4 set to Using DHCP? When you

However I seem to be at a dead end. My son has a G4 Mac running OSX 10.3.3 am not interested in paying extortionist prices for a secondhand airport card. However it may have been the cheapest way to deal with it in the long run. I have tried Belkin Wireless G desktop card F5D7000 ver3000Uk no joy. Driven demented with Belkin customer support on the far side of the world. Threw my hat at it and bought an airport extreme card. However the aerial from the mother board on a G4 does not fit into the extreme card (used some sellotape) and I got intermittent connection to the internet. Son was pissed off with his downloads dropping out. So found a few suggestions on mac osx hints which led me to this. Restored my faith in humanity! Bought the F5D7050 version 3000uk (why do they not put the names on the boxes?) Downloaded belkins driver from http://web.belkin.com/support/downlo...0&lang=1&mode= and sorry it doesn't work. FOund your blog and went to the Ralink site http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm took the USB driver for Mac OS and it worked. Started up the USB wireless utility and low and behold found my network. Linked to it no problem. Set a new profile. Except the internet would not work! Went into system profiles and network found the ethernet adaptor en3 (can't change the name) I asked it to renew the DHCP lease and apply. WOw that worked too. But still won't connect to the internet. I feel so close and yet so far away. What am I doing wrong? can you help please. WOuld really appreciate it.
