[QUOTE="chscag, post: 986828, member: 46727"] It's not a DNS issue. DNS problems cause slowdowns, slow page loading, etc. And it's not a Leopard bug. Too many folks running Leopard and wireless networks without any problem whatsoever. Sometimes Macs can be more difficult to get up and running via wireless than Windows machines are. First thing I suggest if you haven't already done so, is read the [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/airport-networking-wireless-technology/68784-wireless-networking-faq.html"]FAQ sticky[/URL] at the beginning of the forum. Attach an ethernet cable from your router to the mini and start going over all the settings via System Preferences, Network, Airport. Also check the settings in your router by accessing its setup menu. Using encryption? If so, turn it off temporarily while trouble shooting. Is your router broadcasting its SSID? (network name) If not, turn it on. Turn off MAC filtering if turned on. Change broadcast channel. Regards. [/QUOTE]
