My PowerBook g4 says it's connected to the Internet and the Ethernet cable's plugged in, but every time I open Safari it says I'm not connected. What can I do to get Safari to get online?

Also I'm having problems with my PowerBook G4 on recognizing my HP Photosmart C4680 All-In-One Printer/Scanner/Photocopier. This is connect via USB printer cable, but yet they're not syncing. How can this be resolved?

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8), G4 17"

As for the printer problem, is this a new problem?

Try an SMU reset:

Then repair permissions and restart.
