Ok, here's a weird one...1.25GHz G4 iMac connected to a broadband network of some sort. Upon waking from sleep the internet connection works for about 15 minutes then peters out. Upon restart internet access is restored for maybe 10 minutes, then 5, then not at all. After sleeping for several hours the cycle starts over. Otherwise the iMac appears to be operating fine.
The ethernet cable was removed from the iMac while it was exhibiting this weird behavior and plugged into an iBook - the internet connection was fine. So, what could be going on here? It almost sounds like it might be a heat issue but I've never heard of or experienced this particular weirdness with any other G4 iMacs.
Any assistance will be greatly apreciated - thanks!
