I've got an (original series) Airport card in my PowerBook G3/400 (Firewire) running OS X 10.3.2. Usually, things are fine. Because of where the Linksys AP is located, signal strength varies, depending on where I am with the PB in my home.
In one location, signal strength (measured with AP Grapher - http://www.chimoosoft.com) drops too low to provide a viable connection.
When I relocate to a place where the signal strength is good (at least 50 percent according to AP Grapher -- 3 bars by the menu bar icon), my TCP apps still can't access the internet. (Eudora gives "Domain does not exist" error; Safari gives "Cannot find the server" error.) It seems that once signal strength recovers, TCP access cannot.
I have tried turning off the Airport card and turning it back on; no joy. I tried restarting each app; no joy. Only a reboot will fix the trouble. (I'm configured as a single-user system, so I can't log out; there is no log screen with 1 user.)
Other times, I can boot the computer and see less than 50 percent signal and have slow but successful TCP service.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any solution? Barring a fix, is there a Terminal command that will restart the TCP/IP daemon (I'm guessing that there is one -- my UNIX knowledge is pretty limited)? Or something else I can do from Terminal that would allow me to kick-start the TCP/IP chain.
Ideas?
