I bought a Mac Mini for my Mom as a gift, well its great except I have had netowrking problemsw ith it since the beginning. My problem consists of the Mac Mini refusing to go through the router onto the internet unless the ehternet cable is unplugged and plugged back in while the Mini is on. On the Apple Discusson boards a few people have had the same problem as I with Netgear, Dlink and a host of other router brands. Well after a call to Dlink(my router) they figured it was a Hardware/Software problem with the Mini, and I aggred since a 5 year old Power Mac, my PB and my brothers PB all work perfectly with it. Well I called Apple and basically they blew me off blaming the router, after a second call to them, which this tech tried alittle harder to fix my problem he came to the same uneducated answer of its my router. I told both techs i tried a linksys router and still had the same problem and still they told me it is a router issue all bescause the Mini works fine when plugged directly into the cable modem. I might have believed them if 3 other macs didnt work with it. I love Apple to death but I get more help from Dell and IBM support when I call them instead of Apple.
