[QUOTE="lancer_chick217, post: 1088922, member: 166861"] I had this problem just the other day and after 4 calls to Apple, it is finally fixed. They couldn't give me a reason for why it was happening, but I thought I'd post anyway for anyone having this issue. After countless tests they figured out that it was a software issue. They did things like reset the settings, take the Systemconfig folder out and restarting, turning the router off for 10 secs and then back on, etc...but nothing helped! I then tried reinstalling Mac OSX and putting my time machine backup on, but since that backup was from when it wasn't working it went back to its old self. In the end they got me to reinstall Mac OSX but only put my user data from time machine on the install, so unfortunately I lost all my applications and settings BUT it works, so I was happy. :) Apple were very helpful and went through it step by step which was nice as I have only had a Mac for a few months. Anyways, I hope this helps someone who is having the same issue. :) Good luck! [/QUOTE]
