This issue sounds all too familiar. the best resolution is this. you need to do a clean reinstall of OS X and it's applications. I came across this when I first took on my current macbook pro where a software glitch had occured. so, from my experience with system resets, I completely formatted and reinstalled from scratch, resolving the bug in question which doesn't exactly tie in with your fault but has similar issues. problem resolved and I managed to tailor the OS install how I wanted it (10.6)
I always encourage anyone who has an issue like this out of the box to perform a system rebuild as every now and again at the factory, an installation may generate a flaw and expose itself or something else. so a good bit of advice if you're competent is to re-install the OS and apps. lew On 26 Mar 2012, at 20:36, Les Kriegler wrote: > Hi John, > > I have a Netgear Router.
