Hi folks. Is anyone else having this issue? It has started with 10.4.3 and I submitted it to apple as a bug report:


Home config: 1GHz PowerBook G4, Tiger 10.4.3, Airport Extreme base station. Connectivity is via wireless.

Work config: as above.

I use my powerbook on the wireless network at home, then bring it to work which has both a wireless network and wired ethernet. When I wake my computer from sleep at work, it cannot use any internet services. Mail, browsers, etc do not connect even though a new wireless network is detected and connected to. Similarly, I prefer to use wired ethernet at work for better speed, yet when I plug in the ethernet cable, no internet apps find the connection even though it exists. In the past (before 10.4.3 actually) I could plug in the ethernet at work and optionally turn off my airport and everything would work smoothly. Now I am required to log out of my computer and log back in.

Am I missing something?? Assistance appreciated. Cheers.

This is a networking question, NOT PowerBook-specific in any way.

Ahh sorry bout that. I figured it may be powerbook-specific given the nature of the bug.
