Without those details - the questions answered - we're just spinning our wheels. 10 posts into this issue and still no solution. - 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, I think you are spending far too much time trying to fix this. At this stage, I would be resetting the Airport Extreme to factory defaults and reconfiguring it with an SSID with no spaces and WPA/WPA2 security with no spaces. Then I would be going into each Mac (I think from memory you said there were 4), deleting all the existing network configurations under System Preferences - Network - Advanced - Airport and then reconnecting each Mac to the new Airport network you have just created. Make sure each connects and is able to use the network/ internet before moving to the next. Simpler, less time consuming and more likely to work. cjc On 21/11/2008, at 5:42 AM, Simon Royal wrote: Dan I didnt mean to offend and I did read all the replies, most didnt make any difference and Im still working through the rest.

Re: Leopard Forgetting Wireless Still
Chris Yes, but more chances of a different one not working. I look at it as I have 3 fully working Macs with no problems. Also, the problem is completely random, so I could go through this and two days later it happens again. I'd rather not disturb a working network.

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.

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.

Forgetting Wireless
Hi I recently updated my wireless settings on my router. I changed the SSID, moved from WEP to WPA and set it to hidden SSID. I have four Macs and a phone connected wirelessly. 2x eMacs running Tiger, an eMac running Leopard and a PowerBook G3 running Tiger, and obviously my Symbian mobile phone. None of the other Macs have a problem, but my eMac running Leopard never remembers the network. When you switch it on, you have to rejoin, yet all the other Macs remember and it is active straight away. I am running 10.5.5 with the latest updates added. Any ideas?
