This happen to anyone else?

I have 3 PowerBooks and a desktop Mac. I upgrade the desktop first and rebooted. Now it can't see the Internet. The Airport seems to have a self assigned Ip Address and I can no longer see the base station.

I have upgraded one of the PowerBooks and it still appears fine. I have avoided upgrading the other 2 for now. (and am typing this on one of the un-upgraded ones).

Anyone have any clues as to why I suddenly can't see the basestation after the upgrade. I was connected fine before hand and had recently booted before the upgrade so all signs are pointing to the upgrade itself...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

I assume you have tried the usual fixes: reboot, repair permissions, reset PRAM?

Do you have the latest firmware for your base station? Is the desktop mac connected via Airport too?

Everything is up to date. The Desktop was connected to the Airport as well.

After rebooting several times (about 4) the internet connection was magically restored. Still don't know why it went down though...

Eveything seems to be okay now though but I'm still perplexed....

That's pretty weird. Glad it works now though!
