I have an early 2006 iMac g5. I haven't been able to connect wirelessly for several months now (all other computers will) and this past tuesday we had a power outage and now I cannot connect via ethernet either. My laptop will connect fine through the same ethernet cable but the g5 gets nothing.
Could this be the airport card?

Hello Jwine2011
It could possibly be the AirPort card giving you troubles. To troubleshoot the issue of not being able to connect to Wi-Fi or wired network connection, start with creating a new network location. Check out the first article to go over that. If you are still having issues, then check out the second article with troubleshooting issues connecting to Wi-Fi.
