Leopard Forgetting Wireless Still
Hi I still have not resolved my problem in Leopard. It seems to be Leopard specific as none of my other Macs do it. It just randomly on start up forgets to my wireless network and I have to manually join. I have Googled the problem and it seems a lot of other people have the same problem under Leopard, but no resolve. It started since I changed from WEP to WPA. My SSID is hidden, if I changed this to broadcast SSID would this make any difference. My wife is getting quite annoyed that she has no internet when she turns the Mac on.

Re: Leopard Forgetting Wireless Still
Hi Simon, I had a similar issue on my laptop. I had a long list of known wireless access points stored in network sytem prefs. I found that culling this list helped the connection establish more reliably. I am not sure if this applies to your situation but thought I'd mention it.

A bit frustrating, since you only answer some of the questions because of your top posting... No config info. No settings info. No location set-up info. Everything looks fine, everything was working fine when I had WEP turned on. Then I changed the SSID and used WPA. Does it work if you go back to WEP? It only happens when the Mac is first switched on, but not all the time. No, it never happens after sleep and I have automatic login so never have logged in manually. So switched on means a cold boot? By random I mean it will be fine for two or three days, working fine and auto connecting on start up and then the next day it will not. What happens if you change channels? I haven't looked in the system log. Really, everything above is moot. ALL debugging of network problems STARTS with checking the log. Without the information from the log, config, etc, we're just taking shots in the dark here. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: Leopard Forgetting Wireless Still
Hi Simon, Did you put a space in the SSID when you changed it? Many routers and computers have trouble handling SSIDs with a space in them. cjc On 20/11/2008, at 2:07 AM, Simon Royal wrote: Dan Everything looks fine, everything was working fine when I had WEP turned on.

Re: Internet Video's Running Slow!!
I'm using OS X and i tried to update my Quick time player but I cant because it has to be 10.5 or higher, and likewise on the Java. But I i'll try the rebooting method. Thanks.
