Airport Nightmare!

No not near one, I still think its a street light... its the only explination that I can think of and that makes sence given the symtoms....

I bought modern warfare 2 so i moved the PS3 to the 13 inch TV

and I agree its probably the street light

 

[Kaos101]

good game!!! same about the size of TV though.. Enjoy!!

Yeah it is a good game very hard online because when I go into a open area people see me from afar but I can't see them because of my small screen size considering it was on a 52 inch TV.

Hi Kaos101 - what's your network setup (routers etc.,)? Do you have separate networks for your Mac, or windows clients? Are they on the same channel..?

Hi,
I have a belkin router which does the job, It runs 3windows machines and two Macs, the MBP is fine everywhere (including the bottom of the garden which is great) the PC gets the signal fine its just the IMac. they are all on the same channel yes.

Hi Kaos101 - as a suggestion, can you try changing the AP channel on the router? i've had a similar issue before (running a near identical setup as yourself), which seemed to only affect the imac, which was near a front window of the house - a close neighbour was broadcasting on the same wireless channel, which didn't affect the Win laptops or anything else that was 'mobile' - by a quick process of elimination, i found out what channel he was using (i'm guessng your on a/b/g - 2.4GHz?) and selected a different one and it solved the issue for me....

If you've already been through these hoops - check your logs and make sure that it isn't a DNS issue. In which case, and as a 'belts and braces' approach - try assigning a static IP and see what the result is?

Hope this helps - and the weather better be good up there, as i'm 'Chistmas'ing' in Loughborough!

Hi, Big Mac,

i'm guessng your on a/b/g - 2.4GHz?)

Im on G+Mimo and have tried all the different channels... to no avail I am afraid! I'll try the static IP see how that works and I'll keep you posted!
Thanks for the suggestions, appreciate your time!
Oh and the weather... Well two days of thick fog lifted today.. fingers crossed it stays like that... a bit chilly though, wrap up!

 

[Kaos101]

Iv solved the problem guys! thanks for your help! I tried the static IP but that didnt work, Iv moved my desk to the other side of the room and now the signal is fine... interference from something (i still recon the street light ) thanks for the suggestions!
Case closed I hope!!!
