Leopard ? Internet problem!!

Ever since we purchased the new imac, put on leopard and changed our internet service provider, we have had intermittent (albeit weeks at a time for weeks) internet service. it seems as if the connection has just dropped!!! Also if I am on the internet and want to print or pdf a page, many times it takes AGES for the print mode to unhighlight...i have to keep going back and checking it while holding the page open. I must unplug the electrical line, unplug the connection and restart the computer EVERYTIME I want to use the internet
I don't know what the problem is. we checked the speed of the internet and it is right on....this is a brand new 24 inch mac?
Does anyone have any idea how this problem might be resolved? I have looked at the posts but not really sure what applies to our situation! Many thanks

Have you verified that the Internet service works correctly with another computer?
When the service isn't working, open a terminal window and type
/sbin/ifconfig
Make sure that your ethernet interface has been assigned a proper address. Can you ping something outside your home network by IP address? Then you need to check that the correct nameservers are specified.
Your Internet Service Provider should be able to walk you through the basic steps of troubleshooting the connection.

MacBook Air and Snow Leopard Internet Problem

I have installed 10.6.1 on a first generation MacBook Air. After the installation I cannot connect to the Internet over WiFi. I used the wireless connection with my iMac Intel also with 10.6.1. Everything went fine except that I can no longer connect to the Internet using WiFi although I've tried three different hotspots to do this.

HI,
Try a different channel in Airport Utility.
Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X.
Select the device you’re setting up, and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.

I have a mac os x snow leopard. my problem is that when i go to the ethernet settings it shows 'not connected'. i called the internet person even he couldn't fix it PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

System Preferences > Network > Ethernet? If that shows "not connected" that is all your Mac knows. As far as it is concerned there is no cable connected to the port on your Mac, or the other end of the cable is either disconnected or connected to something that is broken.
Try another cable. If the cable is broken you will also get that status message. If you have exhausted all of these possibilities, the only remaining cause is an inoperative port on your Mac.

Very Strange Internet Problems

I own a MacBook Pro 15.4 Inch that I purchased about a year and a half ago. I recently upgraded to Leopard and have all the latest updates. I am from the US, and when I am home my internet works fine. However, I am on travel to Seoul, South Korea right now and am having a very strange internet problem.
As far as I can tell, the URLs that I type in to my browser are, sparodially, not translated correctly into the webpages that they are supposed to represent. This problem is probably effective 75% of the time, and the rest of the time my internet works roughly correctly. For instance, when I enter http://www.google.com, instead of being taken to the Google homepage, I am taking to the homepage of Jammin Beats DJ Service, an obscure website about a company in northern Pennsylvania. The actual URL of this website is http://www.jamminbeats.com, but when my internet is malfunctioning, 'jamminbeats' is for all intensive purposes replaced by 'google' (that is, it applies not only to the main page, but to sub pages, so "http://www.google.com/weddings" takes you to "http://www.jamminbeats.com/weddings" and etc). For most other webpages, one of two things happens. Either I am taken to the correct page but it is displayed without any images or frames (just the html text and links), or I am taken to a blank page with the header "Under Construction", which I assume is the default for a page that doesn't exist. This is why it seems as though the URLs are simply being interpretted erroneously.
This problem occurs when connecting both to the wireless and the wired internet at my hotel, and it occurs on both Safari and Firefox, so it is not a connection-specific or browser-specific problem. It may be a problem with the hotel's internet, and as of yet I have not had a chance to test the computer at another location. However, a colleague using an IBM computer has had no problems, and I am currently on a Samsung machine in the business center of the hotel and it is working correctly as well. I have searched extensively online for a similar problem but have come up empty handed, and more than anything, I am confused about what might be causing this problem. The strangest thing is that a fraction of the time, the internet functions normally, but it is usually roughly 15 minutes out of every hour, and eventually I am inevitably taken back to Jammin Beats.
I am a computer science graduate but I still have no idea what would cause this problem. At first I thought it might be a hacker, but if it is, he or she has been at it consistently for 3 days now, and only seems to be targeting my computer. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated, as I have been forced to resort to the hotel's business center for checking email, doing work, etc. Thanks in advance.

I did consider that, as I was in Beijing last week and there are a number of censored sites. However, in Korea I have had problems with very basic sites like facebook, wall street journal, google, yahoo, Korean google, my hotel's webpage, etc. Further, I have successfully gotten all of these sites to load seemingly at random, and can access them without problems on other computers. The only disconnect seems to be between my MBP and the internet, not between Korean internet and the web. I have toyed around with the network settings, and although sometimes after switching from "Automatic" to a fixed connection I get some sites to work, it usually only lasts a short time and eventually the same sites stop working. I reset my cache regularly to make sure I'm not getting sent to cached sites, but this also doesn't help. Further, my Apple Mail, Skype and AIM accounts jump between being connected and disconnected randomly as well. Again, this is isolated to my own computer, which is why I'm so confused.

All Kinds Of Internet Problems - PLEASE HELP!

So I've been having all kinds of internet problems in my house. I'm almost positive part of it is router related but I just (somewhat scientifically) proved it's also related to my mini. I used speedtest.net to test both my brand new mac mini and my 2006 macbook pro running Leopard 10.5.1 (fresh install). Here's the specs and speed test results:
_*2006 Macbook Pro*_
Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM
OSX 10.5.1
*Average Results:*
Download - 4.72 Mb/s
Upload - 0.84 Mb/s
Ping - 24-38ms (range)
_*2009 Mac Mini*_
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM
OSX 10.6.2
Results:
Download - 0.78Mb/s
Upload - 0.97Mb/s
Ping - 15ms
*AFTER PRAM RESET:*
DL - 2.85Mb/s
UL - 0.98 Mb/s
Ping 22ms
*these were the BEST results and far above the average I got
Router:
Netgear WGR614v9 running latest firmware
WEP 128bit security B/G combined broadcast
We were running WPA2 security but when I switched to WEP everyone in the house noticed a speed increase.
The tests were run within a span of 10 minutes and both computers were about 2 feet away from each other.
Can someone please explain to me why my nearly 4 year old MBP with an outdated OSX is spanking my brand new mini?

I apologize ahead of time as I am not sure I can answer your question, but I would like to ask you a question if I could...
Are you using your mini with Ethernet cable or Wireless. Not that there's a real difference in your case but sometimes if you're running with a Wired Ethernet cable on a unit that also has wireless, it helps to turn off the wireless.
And on the other hand if you are not running with Ethernet cable on the mini, you might think about trying that.

How Apple Solved My Internet Problem

Greeting! Let me tell you about my internet problem and how Apple (kudos to them! Still the best customer service around!) solved it. I updated to Snow Leopard and, suddenly, whenever I tried to use the internet, my computer acted like I was playing Russian Roulette. The airport was working fine, and the diagnostics said as much. My computer did, too, showing me a powerful, full-bar, airport signal. But when I used Safari I often got: "Cannot connect to the server." I'd see the pages on the grid of pages, but when I clicked on one of them, I might get the page, or not. If I clicked on something else on the page (like say, replying to a topic on this forum), it might go to that link or not. Sometimes mail would come in, sometimes I'd get the exclamation mark telling me "NO!" Dashboard widgets that rely on an internet connection might work...or not. Nothing internet related was reliable.
I could hit and hit and hit the reload button on Safari, and get nothing. Then I'd hit it again, and the link would appear. Pictures wouldn't show up, and pages often looked wrong. Re-load and maybe I'd be back to "cannot connect" or it would all come in fine. Very frustrating.
Oh, and my computer was running very hot! Much, much, much hotter than usual. Alarmingly so.
I tried all solutions recommended here. None worked or, rather, they might work for a while, then fail. Re-starting the computer seemed to make things worse. Finally I called Apple. The first representative tried her best, but couldn't solve it. The second spent a long time talking me through all kinds of fixes--dumping caches, special re-boots, re-starting the modem. Still the problem persisted. Finally, I was passed onto the third representative who had me send a profile of my computer to Apple.
"Did you use migration assistant when you first got this computer?" he asked.
"Yes, I did."
"Go to library>contextual items>..." he went on and led me to a thing called "Openbase." Which I then trashed. What is Openbase? Well, it's part of a program I happen to like and use called Soho Notes from Chronos company. It connects me to their server which has the information I put into the notes. Unbeknownst to me, this program, the "old" version that I had (which worked with Leopard, but was fighting with Snow Leopard), was getting in the way. Even though it wasn't technically "running," its widget in the dock would shout out "dibs" on the internet, especially after a re-start, and interfere with everything else.
Once "Openbase" was in the trash, ta-da! Internet working perfectly. Brilliantly, in fact. Super-fast, super-good. Not a single glitch. And Soho notes? Seems they had an update for Snow Leopard, I just didn't think to update (nor would I have. I use the program sporadically, and even if there was a note from the company telling me to update, it might have been a while till I saw it).
In short, if you're having this sort of problem, you might want to think of programs you've got that connect you to internet data bases. Maybe they need updating (if there is a Snow Leopard update for them?)? Or they're getting in the way somehow? Leopard was and was not the problem here. It caused the problem by getting tangled up with this program, but it didn't have a bug. It and the old program just couldn't play nice together.
Hope this helps those of you still looking for answers to find one. If not, by all means, call Apple. They were great. Oh, and my computer is running nice and cool again

Apple hierarchy system does make sense in that the majority of problems people have are often simple ones with common solutions. Like, "did you turn it on?" or "Is the box check marked?" So you start with the tech who might say, "Is the printer plugged in?" (duh! problem solved!), before you ever reach the guy who'll instruct you to "open the activity monitor and type this in..."
The only frustration with it is that you kinda have to start with the low-rung person, and if you've already tried all sorts of wise advice from this forum as I did, they might take you through it all again, as they are kinda required to make sure all the obvious, easy fixes have been tried. I was actually surprised that all the suggestions of the low-rung person were different than the ones I'd tried, though still simple and low-rung (we pretty much stayed in the preferences "network box"). I must say that rung two on the ladder was a very savvy techie. She had all sorts of tricks, but as you can see, someone really had to take a look at what was on the computer to fix this particular problem. So that's how I ended up on rung three.
I did ask the second person just before she passed me onto her supervisor if there was any chance that I might get to Steve Jobs if this went on long enough. She said that was unlikely, but not impossible

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.

Hi,
For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

Troubleshooting Leopard printing problems

Leopard printing problems fall into several categories
a) Faulty or missing Leopard print driver
b) Faulty implementation of the print command from the active application
c) Faulty equipment, eg printer, cables, etc
d) Faulty networking/sharing
e) Faulty or incomplete software installation
The fact that a driver is included with Leopard is no guarantee that it will work. I have heard it from HP's tech staff that several of their drivers installed with Leopard are malfunctioning and I expect that many other printer manufacturers rushed out some poorly tested drivers in order to meet Leopard's shipping deadline.
Equally, some non-Apple applications have not yet properly tested their print command under Leopard so they cannot be used to reliably test whether a print driver is working or not. To get a more reliable indicator, save a print job as a PDF and then open the PDF in Preview and print it from there - or print a simple text page from TextEdit.
Also be sure to check cable connections carefully and if possible, try a different cable to make sure that this isn't the cause of printing problems.
Networking/sharing is fraught with pitfalls especially if the network is wireless. If possible, check printer sharing over a wired Ethernet network. There may also be issues when the print driver is not the same version on all computers in the network. To ensure that there are no remnants of a previous driver it's a good idea to completely uninstall previous drivers and then reinstall the most recent driver. To do this (for example on a 10.4 system):
1. Delete the printer by opening Printer Setup Utility, highlighting the printer if it is listed and clicking on the Delete button.
2. Clear the printer folder by navigating to Hard Drive/Library/Printers and dragging the offending printer-specific folder to the Trash.
3. Clear the Printer Preferences by searching in the System for "com.apple.print" and dragging all files so named to the Trash.
4. Empty the Trash
5. Repair Disk Permissions
6. Download the latest drivers for your printer and install.
7. Open Printer Setup Utility and if the printer is listed, highlight it and press the Delete button at the top of the window. Then click the Add icon, single-click the name of the printer and click Add so that the printer appears in the printer list.
8. To check that it works, create a test page in TextEdit, configure the print job in the Print window and print.

Internet Problems - poor connectivity

I have a Lenovo X100e laptop with Windows 7 Professional. It's been a great computer, but when I go on the internet, it behaves as if the connection is slow or wonky, even if the connection is fast. This is especially true of video streaming, which stutters so much, it's virtually impossible to watch Netflix or YouTube or any other video streaming service. This is otherwise a great computer so I really want to fix this, rather than buy another computer.
I have used this laptop on my home network with both wifi and direct connection with the same behavior. I have diagnosed my network speed and its good, usually around 20Mps, plus I've tried this laptop in public places like Whole Foods and it behaves the same: wonky connection. I have an old Dell Latitude that works and it runs the internet great on the same network, and I've used my phone on my home wifi and it works great, so it's clearly the Lenovo.
The network adapters are 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II and Realtek PVIe GBE Family Controller. I checked the drivers for both (using Device Manager), and they are both current. I used the "diagnose problems" function and found nothing. I googled for problems with them and didn't find much.
There is also a Qualcom Gobi 2000 listed (Wireless WAN Driver for Windows 7) under Other Devices and it says "There is no driver selected for the device information set or element." I tried updating the driver, but got an error saying "Windows could not find driver software for your device." I have no clue if this is relevant.
Also, the laptop plays video with no issues if it's a file on the local drive, like mp4, so I don't think video is the problem per se. It's the general communication with a network. Let me repeat that I don't think this is a wifi issue because I get the same behavior even if I plug a network cable in directly to my router.
Also, I have tried multiple updated browsers including Chrome, Firefox, and IE. Plus, I have run multiple virus scans and nothing is found.
I rviewed the other internet problem posts on this forum, but they don't seem to be the same problem I am having. I can get on the internet, it's just wonky. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regarding Gobi 2000:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001302 - drivers;
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS003751 - boot code utility driver needs.
Install them yourself. Four devices should appear in Device Manager.
Further steps depend of the network carrier you work with. If the carrier is Verizon or AT&T you should install and launch Mobile Broadband Activation softwate:

If you work with another carrier there is a chance you'll need additional help. Let us know.

Internet problems continued

So, all my internet problems I have been having over the past 7 months, I think I may have found the fault. Since moving to my new home, I have had constant problems with the internet being super fast (7/8 meg), and then bottoming out to snails paced speeds (100K/1meg), for no reason. It will then creep back up only to happen again without warning.
Calls to support are useless and I have stopped doing this as I end up in the phone for 30/40 mins to be told the same thing again and again.
The forum moderators here are good (I'm going to email them now) and although slow sometimes (not complaining, would rather wait then speak to these guys then a bod in India) they know their beans and try as much as they can to sort you out. I have three different routers and an engineer visit because of these guys.
Some of you guys are helpful too!
But, one thing that I didn't mention to anyone, as I didn't think it mattered, was I've never had a land line connected. I recently bought one and when connected, the line is really crackly and whenever I call or people call me, my router disconnects from the net, syncs at a low speed and the noise margin goes through the roof. I'm sure that means there is something wrong with my line, as never had this noise at my old place.
It would be great if someone could confirm this as I have tried everything.

The first thing to look for ... is a crackly noisy line.
That's what the quiet line test is for .....
If you'd have read the posts recommended to you, you'd have realised that long ago.....
The words... knockin... and nobody in ..... spring to mind.
The bad line is the cause, deffo.

Game froze my MacBook Pro, now I have internet problems-What should I do?

Hi,
I recently bought a game to play on my macbook pro, it is Sims Castaway Stories for Mac by Aspyr.
My laptop meets/exceeds the requirements to play it. It only uses little ram and hardrive space.
I installed it a few days ago, my laptop started to get really worked up 30-60 mins into playing the game. My laptop was making A LOT of noise and got pretty hot, I could hear that it was making a lot of effort to ventilate the heat out and to keep my laptop cool.
About 5 hours into playing the game My laptop completely froze and I had to force shut it down and restart.
Everything seemed fine when I restarted it. I played the game the next few days and it ran fine for over 5 hours. However my laptop is still very hot and noisy every time I play the game, and even when I don't have the game open, but just the disc in.
When I have the game running and go on the internet the videos I watch are distorted, images are fragmented + oddly colored, pages load in computer code, and pages won't load occasionally.
I have the same problems with my internet when the game disc is not in my laptop. (disc out= no super hot and hyperventilating laptop problems)
I have even uninstalled the game completely and the internet problems are still there.
I use google chrome, but I have the same problems on safari.
My home windows pc has the same internet problems as well, my second windows pc does not.
Is this a bad internet connection problem or has this game damaged my laptop?
What should I do?

The Internet is sent to you in packets with an error-detection code on them. Ones that come through with errors are rejected. Distortions and problems with display are caused by problems on your computer itself, not by bad data from the Internet.
Most games, including ones tied to the Internet, work your computer very hard. It will get hot. When it starts to get hot, the fans will go on high. Putting the DVD in the drive makes a motor spin it up and that causes heat as well.
Do you have enough RAM memory to support all the things you are doing at once? If not, your Hard drive will be on all the time to do Paging to simulate more RAM memory, and spinning its motor all the time will make your Mac really Hot.
To cool the underside by convection, at least 3/4 inch (20mm) space is needed underneath. A smaller space is not effective.

New unlock iphone 4's internet problem

I got a new unlocked iphone 4, and use the straight talk unlimited data plain. But my iphone shows my carrier is AT&T, and I coulden't activate cellular data network. I don't know how to get access to 3G internet.

My iPhone 4s suddenly experienced some Internet problem starting from yesterday too. I got my iPhone 4s when it first came out. No issue at all until this happens. My Internet on"4G" (well it's actually 3G but labeled as 4G) is super slow. I can still call and text but I can't receive any messages from iMessage(which uses Internet), apps store just stay loading forever, and a webpage takes like mins to load. But everything work fine once I connected to wifi. I don't know what going on and I would know is it just me or others are experiencing the same thing?

Ethernet/Wireless internet problems..This is Driving me CRAZY..please help!

Alright i hope someone out there can solve my problem because i am about to throw my macbook against the wall. This is my problem:
Everytime i go on to the internet, in order for the internet to work i have to pull my ethernet cable out of the plug, plug it back in and refresh the page. The internet then works for about 4 pages on avg. and then it times out and says im not connected. In order to continue surfing on the net i have to pull the cable out and plug it back in. The wireless acts the same way. It will work and then times out. I have to turn off the airport and back on to get any internet.
The browsers im using are Safari 3.1.2 and Firefox 3.0.1 and both act the same way. My roommate has a PC and has had no problems whatsoever. Our internet comes through the wall from a plug not from a router. I personally believe that it is my computer because i have tried getting internet from the plug in his room and the same thing happens. The wireless around my school comes from different towers and no matter where im at the same thing happens. I dont believe that its the internet. Ohh and one more piece of info. My first year at school my computer gave me NO internet problems whatsoever. I bought the computer brand new in June of 2007.
If anyone knows how to fix this extremely annoying problem, please help me!! Thanks to all who answer~

Hi
I'm getting a problem which may be related, and i've figured out some workarounds (sort of inadequate ones but at least they're something).
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: almost immediately after installing the 10.5.5. system update, my MacBook started disconnecting itself from my wireless network. i'd be working online and suddenly i'd notice that only 3 bars of the AirPort icon on the menu bar would be showing and that the internet connection was no longer there. the only way to get the connection back would be to switch airport off and then back on and it would connect again. a couple of minutes later the connection would be gone again. infuriating stuff! i checked the system log using the Apple System Profiler (from the Apple menu) and found some messages about there being too many state changes detected on the AirPort network interface and that measures were being taken to fix stuff. it's a pity i didn't save the original error message since i no longer get it, but here's one I found that's identical reported by someone else:
May 25 16:50:57 phoebe mDNSResponder[22]: Note: Frequent transitions for interface en1
(FE80:0000:0000:0000:021E:C2FF:FEB9:8B73); network traffic reduction measures in effect
anyway, the "measures" seemed to be to simply disconnect me from the net, which wasn't great. now the forums mentioned various solutions, but none of them actually worked.
SOLUTION/WORKAROUND: two things seem to have made a difference. 1. i downloaded the combo 10.5.5. system updater and reinstalled it. somehow after i did this the problem would no longer happen (at least those errors would no longer occur). 2. keeping my ipod touch wireless interface switched off, because whenever my touch comes online within a minute or two the iBook disconnects from the net.
COMMENTS: (1) even now if i connect to the wireless network with my iPod, my MacBook's connection will drop - so my solution is to not connect to the wireless network with my iPod touch, which ***** because i like to read stuff in bed on the touch sometimes. (2) reinstalling the system update (the combo version) definitely helped, because before i kept getting that error message in the system log, and even if the iPod touch was switched off the MacBook would still disconnect. (3) this suggest that there were two separate problems, one to do with a corrupted AirPort driver or something of that sort (which was fixed when I reinstalled the system update), and another to do with being kicked off when the iPod touch connects to the wireless network (this problem remains).
I've replace my Linksys wireless router with a Netgear wireless router, but that's made no difference, so i'm pretty sure that the problem has to do with the MacBook - either the hardware or the software. I plan to get another hard disk soon at which point i'll do a clear reinstall of the OS, and if the problem persists then i'll know that it's a MacBook hardware problem. =(
i'll post again here in the future, but if anyone has comments or suggestions or reports of this kind of problem then your input would be highly appreciated.
thanx

From what it sounds like, you say that you can get to sites OK when using Linux, but not Windows, correct? If so, then there's something wrong with your OS.

I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.
