[QUOTE="Janus 006, post: 986655, member: 141343"] I was having very similar problems for both a wired connection to my Netgear router and a wi-fi connection to it. I was stumped for days. Power cycling did nothing. Messing with router settings did nothing. Assigning a manual IP address to my computer did nothing. The weird thing was that all Macs on my LAN were affected if both the Macbooks in my house were open (two Macbooks and two iPhones). The connection would work for a few minutes and then drop. However, my Xbox Live connection was flawless. I noticed something in my Finder that was bothering me for a while. Under Bonjour computers there were three -- two for my wife's Macbook and one for my own. Given that the Internet would work if one Macbook was closed, I wondered if there wasn't some IP address conflict. I turned off Windows sharing on both computers (I don't have cable and access all my content through a media center on my TV) and it worked. Then I tried turning on sharing on just one computer and it worked. Boom. Look at your Bonjour computers and make sure you don't have more there then you should. Even if you don't, just try turning Windows sharing off if it is on. [/QUOTE]
