Hello Michael, From http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20080929133440824 Some users have reported an issue wherein, after applying Security Update 2008-006 for Mac OS X 10.4.11, their systems repeatedly display the message Your network settings have been changed by another application. This message is sometimes accompanied by dropous in wireless connectivity. The potential fix is as follows: Delete the following files from Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration • com.apple.airport.preferences.plist • NetworkInterfaces.plist • preferences.plist • com.apple.nat.plist then restart. NB. I would suggest if you have many settings in your Network location you should copy all of that information somewhere and then move, instead of delete, the above files to your desktop until you know the problem is fixed before you trash them so you can retrieve this information later if needed.

Re: Network Settings
Hi Jo, This is what I did with the Belkin supplied to me by iiNet Try this: connect to your wireless modem via ethernet. fire up your browser and in the url line type 10.1.1.1 hopefully you will get the login screen asking you for the password. If so you should be able to configure it from here. I can't remember what the default password was, something like admin or password.

I plugged it in so I can see if I can connect thru airport, but when I go the the system prefs and click on Network, I get a drop down message sayingyour network settings have been changed by another application I unplugged the new router, plugged back in the old one (via ethernet) restarted the mac (G5 power PC) but I am still getting the same message. The trouble is, when I click ok the dialogue box immediately returns, now matter how many times I click ok. I cant close the network window iether. Does anyone know what is happening here?

Re: Network Settings
Hi Jo and all The easiest way to find the default logging details for your router is on Whirlpool Hardware http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/ Kyle On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 8:08 PM, Eugene [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Jo, This is what I did with the Belkin supplied to me by iiNet Try this: connect to your wireless modem via ethernet. fire up your browser and in the url line type 10.1.1.1 hopefully you will get the login screen asking you for the password.
