Anne, Like you, I also have a number of Macs and iPhones connected to the wireless network and I am not or have not experienced any problems. I am curious if all of the machines on the network are configured to use dhcp or a mix of dhcp and static. It should not matter, but if using dhcp and if it is possible, I would use dhcp reservations to ensure each machine gets the same address. This is sort of like static, but yet new machines can get addresses. Just a thought from my perspective, which may be of little benefit. :) On Jun 21, 2010, at 9:05 AM, Anne Robertson wrote:
