I set up a new network yesterday. Everything works fine. When in XP, I can connect. My wife's MB can connect (Same version of Leopard as me), both our iPhones can connect. However, I cannot get any bandwidth while in OS X. I switch to my neighbor's wireless, and it works fine.

I moved com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and come.apple.network.identification.plist but that changed nothing.

Any way I can fix this?

What do you mean you cannot get any bandwidth? How do you know you are connecting? Are you using DHCP, what router, etc.? Check your network settings to verify whether you are getting a valid IP. I think more details of your setup and exactly what is not working are needed here.

I reset the router and modem, and now it is working. Strange, but it works now.

Flukes of wireless networks.

Unfortunately, that kind of weird stuff happens on a regular basis with WiFi
