So, I setup a MDD G4 1.42 to do some VHS video capture in my shop, and some general PPC mac fun. The system was working beautifully, and then it wasn't To make a long story short, the system started freezing completely. I tried everything, reseated everything, cleaned ALL the contacts (managed to kill the CPU card somehow in the process 
Then I brought My PG G4 Aluminium to the shop. A system that runs amazingly. It started to do the same thing right from the start. After some serious diagnostic and reinstalls thinking maybe i installed something on both systems they didn't like...I figured out the problem...a week later.
Tiger doesn't like the IPv6 implementation on modern Charter/Spectrum routers. Turned it off, no problems since.
So...one day I'll get another dual 1.42 for my G4 or I'll figure out whats wrong with mine. For now, I found a decent deal on a base model 1.6 PM G5 that seems to fit the bill.
I just wanted to help someone avoid a week of frustration like I had hopefully. If this is common knowledge, I apologize. It took ALOT of googling for me to find the solution.
