I have a PowerMac G5 using an Edimax EW-7811Un that is unable to communicate over Bonjour with other systems on our network

I have a PowerMac G5 using an Edimax EW-7811Un that is unable to communicate over Bonjour with other systems on our network. On occassion, I can see it appear on iChat on our Network but it doesn't receive any incoming traffic and will drop off soon after.

The PowerMac G5 does not see any other system over Bonjour.

Any help or solutions for getting my PowerMac G5 to be visible on our network would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Phil,

I have one of those, but in System Preferences>Security>Firewall, have you tried Allow all incoming connections?

What Services are enabled in Sharing Pref Pane?

In Sharing>Firewall, try disabling he Firewall for a test.

I do not understand why you are using Bonjour. You should be able to configure the g5 to use your router for network setup.

Do you have all of your devices using the same router? You should.

I'm assuming this is a small configuration with one router.
