So why not try this - you want quality at home and at work, so go in and set up a Location for both places: Sys Prefs > Network > Location - Edit Locations. Now with Home selected as per [url="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/airport-networking-wireless-technology/184525-airport-notebook-acting-weird.html"]this[/url] make sure the Primary and Secondary DNS numbers are showing up for that ISP; [url=http://skitch.com/majorminor/nuq32/dns2][img]http://img.skitch.com/20100203-ctcpugagfh628p89r6q7gp43f.preview.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://skitch.com/majorminor/nuq32/dns2]Click for full size[/url] Do the same when at work, and if the DNS numbers are not showing up then add them - get them from your ISP if you don't have the information handy.
