[QUOTE="mad_dad, post: 987941, member: 141332"] Not sure if any of this is relevant. But MAC seems to be behaving now. I've stopped Skype and iChat from starting at login. Then stopped file sharing. Turned of the XP and Ubuntu machines. Set my router to reserve IP addresses for MAC mini and XP (LAN and WIFI) Restarted MAC mini. Just connected MAC using Wifi. Powered XP machine. Re-enabled file sharing. Powered Ubuntu machine. MAC is on workgroup network. XP and ubuntu are on mshome network. When the router was dynamically allocating DHCP IP addresses I would often put the XP machine to sleep and back on. Whether the MAC was connected and then the XP machine got a different IP when it came back online but the MAC still thought it was the old IP? I vaguely remember seeing an IP address in the Network utility netstat that wasn't currently allocated by the router. Anyway I'm sure thus happened before. It would work happily for a few weeks then under a particular scenario the MAC would drop connection. So until it fails again I can't try the ping test. Will get back if it re-occurs. [/QUOTE]
