[QUOTE="Sipper, post: 379703, member: 29901"] Hi Guys Not sure if I'm missing something obvious here. My connection to the 'net is via airport and a wireless router connected to an always on cable modem. `the airport card is he only device specified under network, and I have locked the folder to avoid changes. Am I missing a trick here? The IP address allocated to the mac should not expire after a few hours and I'm using WPA security so I think it's secure but I seem to lose the connection after an hour or two of no use, or when the iMac goes to sleep. I then have to go through the whole setup again as my ssid is not visible and my password is from ****. Apologies if this seems daft but I'm not sure how to fix this problem, any ideas please ? Thanks Sipper [/QUOTE]
