[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1645932, member: 307555"] I suspect your problem is that your mac is remembering the network and settings.. When you go back and try to connect it is "holding" the settings from the last time but the router has already cleared you out. Resetting your computer clears the cache and now forces your computer to request a new ip address instead of trying to use the last ip and settings it had when on the network. A quicker and easier fix that might work would to open your system preferences -> network -> advanced -> TCP/IP tab and click "Renew DHCP Lease". That will force your computer to request a new ip address. Won't hurt and might just save you resetting your computer. That is if what [B]Ferrarr[/B] suggested doesn't work because it should do the same thing. Lisa [/QUOTE]
