Linksys WUSB54G to Airport Extreme "unplugged"

[Nick C Topolos]

My son gave me a "Hand me down" PC with Win2000 Pro he used at a gaming
Co to help me dowmload GPS updates. I have been a Apple/Mac person since
1980. This combination did work for a while until a message came on when
logging on "if I wanted to update software?" I clicked "yes" without
really looking at the update. I was also trying to load a DVD player
around this time and just installed an AOL weather update. The PC shows
that the linksys is unplugged. Linksys (whom I could barely understand)
finally said it was a Mac problem and Mac said I would have to pay $50
for them to help me. I have not tried to connect directly to the
ethernet yet. I am not sure if I want to bypass the Airport Extreme or
use the port on the back that an eMac is plugged into. I am fine with my
iBook. I really need a plan to attack this problem. Thank you

Sounds like you installed something, perhaps your son who is familiar
with PC's and this one in particular would be of assistance in
discovering what it is suffering from.
