Re: is this normal? waking mac does not find wireless network
John, Did you check the box to have it remember your network? Also are you running the latest Snow Leopard? SOme obvious questions perhaps, but these are the things that tend to trip folks up. :) Scott On May 27, 2011, at 11:35 PM, John Sanfilippo wrote: Hi, I recently acquired an Airport Express.

Re: is this normal? waking mac does not find wireless network
Hi, i'm wondering if your Keychain Item for your wireless is corrupt or damaged in some fashion. Try this: 1. Go to the Finder. 2. Press cmd-shift-u to open the Utilities folder. 3. Locate the Keychain Access app and open it. 4. Navigate to the Keychains Table, Interact With it and select the system item. 5. Stop Interacting and navigate right to the Categories Table.. 6. Interact with it and select the All item. 7. Stop Interacting with it and navigate once right to the Table of items. 8. Navigate through them until you find the one that corresponds to the name of your wireless network. 9. Press the Delete key. You will need to confirm and likely enter an Admin password. Quit the Keychain Access app, close the Utilities window then press VO-m-m to go to the Status menus. You then navigate to the Airport menu and choose your network. It should ask for your password at which time you can enter it and check the box for remembering this in your Keychain. Beyond this, I would need to know if your wireless is WPA, WPA2 or WEP. HTH.

is this normal? waking mac does not find wireless network
Hi, I recently acquired an Airport Express. I'm running an iMac since November 2008. Whenever I wake the mac from sleep I get a system UI agent message saying it can' find my preferred network. I must log in each time. Is this normal behavior, or should the mac be able to access the network without login since it is the principal computer of the network?

Re: is this normal? waking mac does not find wireless network
No this is not normal behaviour. I'd check for any Software Updates for your Mac as well as repairing your permissions. You could also check for any updates to the Airport Express software but your issue sounds like it is at the computer end to me. Later...
