This imac connects to our in-home network and establishes its TCP/IP info. The connection holds for not quite 1 minute and then drops. (The AirPort Status in the menu bar drops from full bars to one, and Safari stops dead.) If I turn AirPort off and then on, the connection re-establishes and the cycle is repeated.
Some additional info:
1)I recently updated this imac from Tiger to Leopard version 10.5.8. Although I didn't use AirPort exclusively after the upgrade, it was working until very recently.
2) Having purchased a new imac that is using the ethernet port, I am trying to run this one using its AirPort Card connecting to an in home wireless network via a Linskey router. My new imac (which sits next to this one) has no problem joining the wireless network (WPA2 Personal) which uses DHCP. The router assigns an IP address automatically.
3)I compared the TCP/IP settings on both the new imac and this one and the Subnet Mask and Router info is the same. The IPv4 Address is different only in the last three digits.
4) I regularly run YASU on this imac. I also repaired Disc Permissions to see if that was the problem.
