Hi Ronnie

I checked under Network/Advanced in the System Prefs, and under TCP/IP it shows Using DHCP for IPv4 and 'Automatically' for IPv6.

Thanks very much Ronni

Hi Chris,

That is a Netcomm 3G9WB isn't it?
Are you using a Static IP Address or DHCP?

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi muggers

Hope things are ticking along nicely for all.

I have an unusual problem it seems using the above system with a 15" MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8 intel 2.2) at home for my online service. This link to Whirlpool about it (dated Nov 2008) I received from a very helpful manager at Telstra Countrywide in Bunbury who is as baffled as myself about the new modem/router I purchased a few months ago.

http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1096198.html

The baffling thing is that his loan router he has sent me (so I can still be online) actually does work with my mac, but the new one doesnt and we cannot understand why. The new one has exactly the same problem and the guy describes in the first post of the forum ie I can get online for about a minute before I get no connection. I have to constantly restart the modem, or go into the bigpond admin page to restart the software. The funny thing is he can use this new modem with no worries on his PC at his work in Bunbury. This is the second new modem I have had and it does the same thing.

If anyone has any experience like this I would love to hear if you have been able to find a solution.

The telstra bloke is coming around again to set it up and go through a few ideas he has after speaking with people at his work.

Many thanks for any help and advice on this problem

kind regards

chris
