Hi everybody,
I am having some trouble with my airport (which I guess is just Apple lingo for wireless adapter). I'm normally a windows user but there are many things that I love about my Mac as well, especially for school.
Anyway, I can get my airport to work, however recently it's usually been involving me in turning my airport off and on until it eventually works (I'm trying to solve this problem). When it doesn't work, it shows that I am connected to the router with great signal strength, however I have no "internet access". It also says in the network settings that I am connected to the router with an IP of 192.168.0.102. However, by some magical force of luck, every time I switch airport off and on SOMETIMES I will get a new IP address, in my case 192.168.1.140. Whenever I get this IP address, everything works great. Even when I close the lid and open it, if it reconnects to that 192.168.1.140 address, then it works great. Most of the time it starts off at 192.168.0.102, though and it doesn't work until i switch on and off again.
My thoughts are, if I can get this fixed, great. If not, I was contemplating reinstalling Mac OSX at the cost of all my windows files that I have on bootcamp, Mac files, and apparently $30 for a new disk, as I have lost mine . But the problem with that is, I don't know if that will fix my problem.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
