[QUOTE="Collin Bl, post: 836883, member: 95994"] My comment is that one of the biggest difficulties with remote help is lack of info. eg you say my router - why not say my Netgear DG834 or whatever. Also are the other units all wireless? What is providing the wireless - the router or an airport? My take is when trouble shooting break the system down to it basics and start from power up. With use and heaps of units on a LAN temp settings can be changed on the fly but powering off everything and adding it back together piece at a time starts to highlight where potential problems are. So turn everything off then power up router, then the airport if there is one - then the iMac. Is everything Ok at that point - use it for a bit to make sure - if no go back to ethernet and check it all with that. Then a question on a forum would have less choices when it came to a suggestion from a forum reader. [/QUOTE]
