I have airport problems.
I used to have a Pismo.. no problems with it. Then I purchased a Quicksilver and sold the laptop so I installed the airport card into the G4. So I've been surfing the web with no problems since then.
Then the 4.0.6 firmware comes out. So I thought I should update it. Well I go to update it and it updated fine etc.. but now all of a sudden I have connection issues. (Its the snow airport by the way) Anyway, there are times when I go to internet connect and I get on.. its says im connected to the internet.. I click on explorer, mail, or iChat, and the wheel just spins. It acts as if I havent connected to the internet and can't find any content. IChat doesnt open, mail just spins looking for mail, and explorer says looking for yahoo.com (my set home page).
So then I go to the airport admin utility. Try out the configuring of my base station thinking something went wrong. I enter my password and it says "an error occured and that it cant read the configuration file." So I tried to reset it which eventually led to me getting internet access.
But ever since then things just seem flaky. Its always connected and worked before the 4.0.6 firmware update. Now I just have the problem where it may say Im connected but in actuality my internet apps cant find any internet content because I dont have the access that internet connect tells me I do.
Is it possibly a software problem.. Do I need to update airport software along with the firmware? I am running 10.2 by the way so I wouldnt think that would be the problem. By the way what version of airport software does 10.2 come with and where can I find it in the OSX system folder?
Any ideas peeps.. well after struggling for a couple hours Im online. Only got online after unplugging the base station and restarting my quicksilver.
Thanks for any help.
