Try renewing your DHCP lease, especially if the Windows machine is
using the same DNS server(s). I'm on my iPhone so I can't give step-
by-steps, but I think there is a button for this right in your network
settings in System Preferences. You also may be able to renew by
turning off and turning back on your airport card.

Hello all:
Are there gremlins out to get me? I swear that the day I said to
myself that one of the reasons why I continued to favor my MAC over
the PC laptops I get with each job is how much more efficient it is
when using the internet......all of a sudden, it now acts really
slowly and fails to connect with my wireless network consistently.
Meanwhile, my PC Laptop, issued with Windows 2007 works fine. They
could be sitting right next to each other, the PC keeps receiving
and pushing out within the home wireless network, while the MAC
stutters. This is not meant to instigate yet another virtual knife
fight among various users. I'm just wondering if anyone else is
experiencing this problem and whether there's a fix. I tried to get
on a Genius Bar waiting list, but they are booked solid.
Internet diagnostics for the MAC say that internet is working fine,
and I downloaded the ProtectMac trial version to check for malicious
code--nothing found.
In one search there was the suggestion that there may be a DNS
problem...that is, the MAC is having trouble translating word
versions of addresses into their numerical IP addresses. Does that
make sense?
This is pretty frustrating because I don't know how to begin to
diagnose the real problem, I've just isolated it because I know that
it's not my router, or internet connection....else I wouldn't be
able to send this email with my work laptop.
Thanks, Arnold
