[QUOTE="Janus 006, post: 987204, member: 141343"] Yeah, now the Windows sharing fix is not working so well any more. My wife's computer seems to have a constant connection to the Internet, as do the two iPhones. However, my Mac is having problems. When I use the Internet in XP on Boot Camp, it works fine. When I looked at the attached devices in my router, I found what seemed to be 4 current IP addresses for my computer. When I was in Tiger, I manually assigned IPs for both ethernet and wi-fi (my computers were attached via ethernet or wi-fi to a Netgear router, which in turn was plugged into a cable modem); ethernet had preference, and when I had the cable plugged in my airport had no IP. Now it seems that they are both connected at the same time. When I disabled all connections in Windows and all but one on the Mac side, it seemed to improve, but only when I let DHCP assign me an IP. I all still have this mysterious IP address under attached devices (using WPA security). I have no idea where it's coming from. If you figure out something, let me know. I'm fairly certain that my router is fine since everything but my Macbook is running smoothly. I never had any problems in Tiger so I wonder if this isn't some issue with SL. [/QUOTE]
