How is the PB connecting to the network? Are you using an Airport Base Station or some other type? What kind of signal are you getting? If you are using an Airport Extreme base station, they sometimes stop, could be interference from a cordless phone among other things. Sometimes unplugging the base station, waiting a minute and plugging it back in solves that problem. I just tried that terminal command. I've been having a lot of trouble with my DSL the last week. At this moment, I've lost sync. I got the same response that you got. I'll try it again once I get sync back.
