[QUOTE="ron4mac, post: 1607888, member: 63497"] If you think there is some software or configuration issue causing your problem(s) then, yes, doing a Time Machine restore is very likely to just continue the issue. You can perform a clean install on the machine and then use Migration Assistant to pull in your user account(s) from the Time Machine backup. Once doing it that way, if you are still experiencing issues, create another account on your machine to see if the issue is in the new account, as well. In fact, before you reinstall the system you might want to create a new account to see whether your connection issue could be coming from something attached to your normal account (did Apple have you try that?). [edit: that was pretty sly of you dude .. clicking submit before me;) ] [/QUOTE]
