[QUOTE="dooper, post: 947931, member: 132563"] Hi,,, Since posting i have done further work...! The lappy has worked fine until the last week or so when it seemed to have minor intermittent issues with connecting. Today it decided it didnt want to connect via ethernet or airport. The system is a netgear DG834GT ADSL router. Other devices can connect via the router. The router would not show the ibook as an attached device Eventually in network> i had to setup both ethernet and airport connects as DHCP with manual and key in the manual addresses 192.168.0.4/5 which i had also allocated in the router menu against the mac addresses for both the ethernet and airport interfaces. It now works.. So basically,it appears that when plugging in ethernet or turning on airport, the ibook refuses to pick up a DHCP allocated router resource. It doesnt seem to be a router issue. Ive powered it off/reset it etc etc and it has worked previously on auto dhcp with the ibook and works fine with other pc type gear.. It seems like a software issue but i wonder what?? [/QUOTE]
