Hello all,
For some reason, after I changed ISP's, my Pismo refuses to
auto-connect to my Airport Network. I had to change my Airport
network
settings from "automatic" to "a specific network" under the "by
default
join" dialog. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but since it's
not set to automatic, on those rare occasions when I'm actually out
and
about with my Pismo, I have to remember to set it back to automatic
just to join a hot spot. Anyone know why this is? Should I delete
my
network altogether and just create a new one? Here's the specs:
Pismo 500/1gigRAM/Airport card w/ Airport Base Station (snow). All
software is up to date, with exception of Tiger. I'm currently
using
Panther 10.3.9.
Thanks for any input on this matter,
Zoltan
Zoltan,
This has just happened to me in the last week. Now when I come home
and open up my Pismo I have to click on the airport icon in the menu
and select my network. Used to do that automatically. Also it no
longer asks if I want to connect to any open network it finds
elsewhere.
I have a Pismo 400/768/40G/Airport card with a Belkin wireless
router.
Using 10.3.9.
Don't know if it is related or not but it takes a lot longer lately
to
load any Safari pages. I checked my DSL speed on one of those free
sites and it has not changed. Just got a new (to me) iMac G3
400Mhz/640/10G/Airport and it seems to be much more snappier.
Any programs that would cause this? Airport card gone bad? Trying to
think of the changes I have made... Anybody else out there notice
this?
Thanks,
Dan-
Dan,
Now see this is getting interesting. I hope we didn't stumble on some
kind of bug in Panther. I'm wondering if this is just a Panther
thing,
or if it is something that would go away with Tiger. Keep me posted
if
you discover a fix. I'll do the same.

Zoltan,
In the last couple of days this has come back on for me.
The only change I am sure of is that I quit Macaroni (I had recently
downloaded this and am running on its trial mode). Shortly after this
I started connecting automatically again. I then started Macaroni up
again but this time no change, auto-connect is still working. So I
don't know if this had any bearing on the problem or that the timing
was just coincidental.
Any luck on your end? I'm glad to have auto-connect back but still
curious as to what the problem was.
Let me know how you are doing.
Dan-
Dan,
WELL NOW. . . this is strange. It's working for me as well! What did
I do? Absolutely nothing other than change it back to "automatic"
after reading your last post to see if mine would work! I wonder if
this was a timed thing in Airport. . . at this point I guess anything's
possible. I'll keep you and the list posted in case it stops working
again. THANKS! :)
Zoltan
