Topic: PowerMac G4, new bunny, no way to connect :'((

Hi!
I'm an Italian Mac user and a new Nabaztag/tag owner BUT... there's no way for me to go beyond the 2st connection step: the rabbit is "in blue", I can see "nabaztagXX" in the list of networks, but when I try to connect I get a "generic" *error trying to connect* (or something like that, I get it in italian) and, still,  the 4 blue lighs on .


I'm working on a PowerMac G4 quicksilver with MacOS 10.4.11, airport card and wi fi adsl modem (the wireless internet connection works fine).

I've tried some tips from the topic "WPA Setup: Here's a tip if you're having trouble"... (well, I haven't got a router, just the "old style" airport card and a wi fi modem, so I tried everything but generating a new password): I initially used WPA security (the default for my modem), then no security, then again the WEP security.
In the end, now I'm back to WPA security.
Oh: with each of the 3 security configurations, I tried to connect my bunny using both PPPoE and DHCP, but again... nothing!


Any idea? I bought the airport card JUST to get my bunny to life... :'(
Thanx SO MUCH for any help!

Do you have a PSP or DS?  That's what I used to configure my bunny

"It's French. Shrug your shoulders and make a noise like 'poof!' when it's not working properly"

Thanx for your reply, but: mmmh... do you mean a PlayStation or a Nintendo DS?? Or something else?
No, I have nothing like that. And I haven't even a mobile with wi fi connection (I read that it could be used to configure the rabbit as well...)
But: if I configure my Nabaztag/tag from some other computer or from someone else's mobile, DS, etc (by the way: how?)... will it work with my computer then? If it can't connect from the start how can it communicate with my mac after the configuration?

Anyway... any other possible solution?

I think you're going to have to break down and buy a router.

Tomorrow a friend will lend me his notebook, I hope that will be the solution

Same shit happened here. The simply stopped answering my mail since january 4th. Very Disappointing to have a rabbit for almost four weeks and never got it to connect to the WiFi.

Write them again. Somehow they overlooked a few of my emails and replied.

Does this only apply if you are using an Apple Airport wifi base-station?
I bought my rabbit last week, and it worked out-of-the-box first time on my non-Apple Wifi base-station (all my computers are Macs, though).
