Have you tired unplugging his cable for a minute or so after > his port has died, and then plugging it back in to see if it corrects the > problem? Also, do you know offhand what the make and model of the hub is? Thanks for the tips. I determined that, in fact, the hub was fine. (At least, its other ports still worked.) Unplugging the G4's cable at the wall was enough to reset things. Swapping a new cable seems, so far, to have solved the problem. The new cable is also shorter, I wonder if I had hit a cable length problem, since the cable goes to a wall jack which then goes to the hub. The old iMac may have been 10baseT or just run slower. Anyway, thanks much. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
