[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1024568, member: 46727"] Well, you're not the only Mac in Korea, it may just feel that way to you. :( The IP address and other addresses seem OK. Since you're still using Tiger, I'm not sure how to advise you on making changes. You also stated that your machine works fine at your apartment. That would definitely indicate a problem at the office. And you state that you get the net via an ethernet connection at the office - so that would eliminate any wireless interference or other problems with encryption. Unfortunately, I have had Windows machines work without difficulty on some pretty shaky network equipment and a less than desirable ISP whereas my MacBook had all sorts of problems. The only thing I can think of is that the net signal at your office is marginal (weak, up and down) and your Mac isn't keeping up with it. Your apartment probably has a stronger signal and that's why you remain connected. My suggestion: Buy a cheap netbook and use it at the office. Use your Mac at home. You can't even install Windows on your Mac since you're still using Tiger - so that's not an option. Sorry I can't be of more help. Regards. [/QUOTE]
