[QUOTE="karudzo, post: 327449, member: 17652"] It sounds as though you have MAC filtering turned on in the router, so it isn't giving your iMac a regular IP address, but one like 169.x.x.x (I don't remember the other values). Turn MAC filtering off or, better yet for security, add your iMac's MAC address to your router (open Terminal, type in [B]ifconfig en0[/B] and write down the MAC address next to the word [B]ether[/B]. It should be an alpha-numeric series of numbers and letters like: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. [/QUOTE]
