I have had problems with my Macbook Pro ever since I moved from Tiger
to Leopard, Some times it would work fine and then could not connect
for days or weeks so I decided to use a cable instead!! Defeats the
purpose of a laptop I think!!
The symptoms would be having a self assigned IP address and not being
able to get an address from the DHCP server/router.
Yours might be a different problem but it sounds a lot like mine :(

The connection to the adsl is dropping out all the time, with the

The modem router is new (2 days old at the point!
I have no idea what connection I would need to change on either
router or airport I certainly didn't change anthing on the old
modems..and just tried everything the techies suggested.
Why would phone plugged into power affect anything?

Best thing to do is, as someone else has already said, test with an
ethernet cable direct to your router. Your internet connection
certainly shouldn't have any effect on your wireless as that should
operate independently.
Have you changed any of your router settings since your upgrade or
were you supposed to change any settings and haven't done so yet?
Do you have any cordless phones and if so have you tried turning
them off at the powerpoint as well as unplugging the phone
connection?
Permanent loss of wireless probably means you changed your wireless
settings on your router to something wrong or your router is
stuffed or just not very well designed and falls apart when
something is wrong.

Since Saturday we've had a real problem with our westnet
connection. Boost (1.5Mb to 8Mb/384k - 7GB/10GB)
I have a macbook pro (2.6 Intel core 2 Duo), my husband macbook
both running Leopard (10.5.3), usually connect via Airport
Express wirelessly
The connection dropped out completely. After re-starting the modem
a number or times, and trying with direct connection, still no go,
I contacted Westnet.
Over the following days
Techie suggested modem (Alcatel Speedtouch Home) was probably no
good (though lights on etc) , so I borrowed my daughters (same
model) .. same result.
Bought Netcomm NB%Plus 4 W wireless modem router from Office
works, still no joy
More techies, played with settings eventually connected (sort of)
with PPOA.
Rang again, slow, dropping out, before even one web page loaded,
or 1 email.
Tried unplugging all phones even though there's a proper adsl
filter on the line and filters on other phone points.
Can only connect intermittently, dropping out. when connecting
there's packet loss anything from 5 out of 9 eg
9 packets transmitted, 7 packets received, 22% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 20.0/21.4/30.0 ms
Can't connect at all with airport, now using wireless from netcom.
Anyone any ideas..please!!
Also it seems there might be a trick to connecting airport to this
modem ..anyone any ideas of settings?
