Got a new Imac with Airport Extreme card running on my wireless G
network, (DSL). Also have a wireless PC laptop and wired desktop PC
on the network. Both of the PCs work fine, never lose connection.
The Imac always has a strong (excellent) signal but frequently just
loses the connection (cant find server error). What is going on? Is
there something I need to reconfigure in the Mac to keep my
connection?
Thanks,
Sandy

Ok. This sounds like the same thing that is happening to me.
We have a G4 Powerbook connected via Airport Extreme, one Desktop PC
connected wirelessly, and one Laptop connected wirelessly.
All three will stay connected in harmony with strong wireless signals
for so long, until the internet on the Powerbook suddenly stops in
both Safari and IE. The wireless signal is still strong, and the
PC's have no problem with the internet.

Turning Airport off does nothing, and it seems the only way to get
the internet working on the Mac is to restart the router, but I am
almost certain it is the Mac causing the problems.

I haven't yet tried the possible solutions posted here:

but I was just letting you know that you are not the only one.
