Network settings says "Airport is off"... but it's not!

This is more just a curiosity than anything. In my network settings, even though the dot next to my airport is green, it says my "Airport is currently off." Before it was giving me configuring problems, but I deleted a bunch of prefs that were suggested in another Airport post (one about not being able to join a preferred network, because it simply wasn't an option to select). So now I can select my preferred network, but still... "Airport is currently off"!

What does Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations report for ON Ports?
Have you tried making a New User to test if they have the same problem?
If worse comes to worse and you can redo all your Network Settings, try trashing these files then Reboot...

  • Query: MacOS 10.5.3 update, Quicktime and mp4

    Hi, this maybe a 'stupid' question but I'll ask anyway. Earlier this 2008 I recall the Quicktime 7.4 update having problems playing mp4 files, and I ended up downgrading back to Quicktime 7.2 (using Pacifist) to solve my problem. Ever since then, I'v
