One possible fix for internet connections that drop out
I have been having this problem on my Mac Pro for a few weeks. I am also connected via wired connection on this one computer. After updating to 10.5.4 and the firmware on my Airport Extreme, I was hoping the issue would be resolved. It was not, so I decided this workaround was at least worth a try. It did not work for me :( The problem is definitely the Airport router - I connected directly from my Mac Pro to the cable modem a couple of days ago for a few hours and experienced no connection drops. I also reset the router, which did not fix the problem. I am getting ready to just buy another router since the firmware update released this week did not address this issue and the connection drops are becoming problematic.

The first thing to determine when you're getting connection drop is if the problem is a problem with your wireless connection or with the wall connection.

I wouldn't go buying a new router just yet. I have a similar problem, and I'm running a linksys router with dd-wrt firmware, and the two macs that use it have the same problem. Ironically, when I boot my Macbook in Windows mode, there's never an issue. |
