Hey all,
I am using a 500mHz Ibook running 10.2.1 and an airport card on my office lan. The office lan works perfectly, and on my ibook i was on ichat, and was able to browse the internet. all of a sudden, i can't connect to websites because it doesn't resolve the name to the ip. but if i go into the terminal and type nslookup and then type the website, that resolves, so clearly DNS works. But then I try ping www.yahoo.com it doesn't work. It just sporadically happens and the only way to fix it is if i shut off the airport and re-start it. Any ideas why this is happening.
Sincerely,
Mel

Have you got the DNS server in the airport networks prefs? I know you have to do this if you manually assign an ip address.

If you're using a snow base station, make sure it's updated to Firmware 4.0.6. Rendezvous can make earlier firmware revs fall over.
Don't know if this is appropriate for you since you just say "shut off the airport and restart it" without being clear whether you mean the airport *card* or the *base station* when you say 'airport', but this is worth a try.
