Ever lose internet connectivity for no reason?
I did tonight. Unfortunately, it was while I was taking an online essay quiz for my graduate class. The Windows machine I have had no problems, so I was able to send a message to the facilitator letting her know of my dilemma until I was able to get the internet back up on the Mac.

1. Yep. About 2x a day.
We think it has something to do with the VFR (airport thingy) that is about half a mile from the house. It's pretty consistent that we drop connectivity at about 8:30 pm and 10 am.

Of course, since I rolled back to 10.3, I have had to log into our wireless network every time I restart (it used to save the passwords and locations!!!) but it's a small sacrifice to make for functional gaming....

2. All the time since I started using Comcast's router.
I haven't been able to figure out what triggers it yet, but the only way I've been able to reestablish my connection is by restarting. x( :mad:
