[QUOTE="MacPow, post: 1030462, member: 142831"] Hi. I hope this is the right forum.... I have an fairly new iMac purchased in November 09, running OS-X. It is connected to my broadband modem by cable. There is a linksys wireless router also on the modem. I also use a MBP '08 model running OS-X. Until a couple of weeks ago, everything worked flawlessly. Internet/Wireless Router/iMac/MBP... Lately, when the iMac is running and is logged into a user, [I]with [B]no[/B] programs running[/I], no safari, iTunes, mail, whatever...the modem shows activity... even when the MBP is not on. When safari is launched on the iMac the internet is very slow, if I'm able to surf at all. The MBP has a good airport connection with linksys, but the server and internet are not functioning and I can't surf with the MBP at all... Unless, I go to the iMac and log out of whatever user is logged in... then all is well with the internet with the MBP. As I mentioned at the beginning, this is a new problem. I fired up the activity monitor on the iMac while logged in... No unusual looking programs are listed, the network shows periodic data being sent and received, even though no programs are running. I was pretty good at cleaning out windows systems, but I got sick of it and went ALL MAC... but now I feel pretty clueless. It is entirely possible that my kids have been to sites that share files, but I don't know where to start looking... Oh, one more thing... we live in the country... There are no other homes or networks within range. Any suggestions? Thoughts? Links? Thanx!! Mark [/QUOTE]
