Under the tCP tab, my choice was either "Using DHCP" or "Using DHCP Manually" and the first, which I assume is automatic had been checked. Odddly, no matter how I change the settings, it doesn't seem to stick from one session into the next. Is there something I need to do to save these settings?

Hi Chris,Ok, I'm not great with networks either (although it has always been windows networks that have been my pitfall) so this is speculatively. In your tcp-ip settings did it say "automatic dhcp" or "dhcp with manual address"? I tried setting mine to the latter, and I got the behavior you did with safari; it fixed itself at the dhcp part of the diagnostics. Of course, on mine it reset the network preferences to "automatic dhcp" and so when I put the computer to sleep and then brought up safari again, it worked fine. So, check that it is set to "automatic dhcp" and that the network you want to join is the first one in the table in airport settings. Then try using safari or mail again, and see if that fixes the problem. If that isn't it, then I don't know if I have any other solutions, but I'll gladly give it another try. :)Hope that helps, Greg Greg On Mar 10, 2009, at 8:49 AM, Chris Hofstader wrote:I went through the system settings network section and found that everything looked good but, this morning, when I started up Safari, I got the network diagnostics page again and, oddly, after a few screens (not the whole process - just the part up to selecting DHCP) the network was recognized and Safari and now Mail are working properly.I'm wondering if there is some place where I can select the default network and the like. I deleted all networks other than the original Airport which seems to do things properly after the changes I make in diagnostics.I've been programming computers as a hobbyist since 1971 (I was 11 years old) and professionally since 1979. Printers and networks have been my enemies throughout my entire carrier as I always seem to break them.Happy Hacking, cdh On Mar 9, 2009, at 6:01 PM, Greg Williams wrote:Hi,If you go to network under system preferences, you can check your airport settings.
