Re: Automatic Network Connection.
Laurent, Your post didn't get unnoticed. I was busy yesterday with a design job and didn't get back to the network connection issue. Per the OSX Hint 10.4: Reclaim 'Automatic' AirPort network selection Thu, Jun 16 '05 at 09:07AM from: mikerose For those of us (foolhardily?) brave enough to upgrade to Tiger via Archive Install, one of the annoying consequences can be the inability to select anything other than A specific network in the Network settings panel to join by default. The new Preferred Networks setting is also AWOL. (Another annoying consequence of an Archive Install: Volume Logic doesn't move to the new installation ... drat!) While this hint discusses general tips for cleaning out the Airport known/preferred network list, the solution for this problem is much simpler: delete and recreate the network locations that use Airport (Location menu - Edit Locations... - Delete). Voila! The Automatic Preferred Network choices now show up. The only airport location I could find was Automatic and I couldn't delete it. I ended up going to Library/Preferences/ and deleted the file com.apple.networkconfig.plist. So far, I still have a connection. Thanks to all with suggestion. kt -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Automatic Network Connection.
Hello All, Since upgrading to OS X 10.4.1 my ALPB 17 does not connect automatically to my wireless network on start-up or awakening from sleep. Apple Care cannot help me. Weird is that sometimes when I log out and choose my test account it sometimes connects automatically on logging in but it is haphazard. Can this be rectified?
