i was able to connect to the wireless network in my home with ease, until yesterday when i dropped the connection rebooted and ive tried everything, does anybody know how i can get it up and running anything i can delete etc?

its winding me off the dial!

i have a macbook pro with airport built in i believe.

and i connect wirelessly via a Netgear DG834GT

Please help!

I think Tiger xx.10 and xx.11 both had/have issues. Does it improve when running off AC power and not the battery?

it picks it up fine but wont connect its always plugged into to AC

its something to do with the WEP. i disabled and it works ok now, but i ideally need it on.
