My Power Mac G5 will not connect to my Wifi. I have tried rebooting and other methods, and none seem to work. Any advice or tips would be much appreciated!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Does your PowerMac G5 have Airport Extreme card?
I had the same problem, my G5 didn't find any wireless network anymore.
After doing lots of trouble shooting as advised on various websites I finally had as last resort a look inside my G5 and sure enough I found one of the connections wasn't plugged in!
I normally don't use WIFI very often on my G5, so I can't pin point when it stopped, but having said this, I did have my G5 in the Apple store 3 months ago to get a new graphic card. Surely they would have seen the issue and fixed it at the same time, one assumes.
Anyway, after fiddling around for at least 30 minutes, because I have a Raid card installed and it's covering half of the wifi card, I finally managed to plug in the tiny button and voila the wireless network was working again.
To find out where your wifi card is, I found this service guide, explaining all the inside parts and where they are.

Hope that helps somebody else.
