It appears there were two issues. The customer was on the edge of two
sectors, so I moved him to the other sector and signal levels are much
better. I also ended up hard coding a DNS address to get rid of random
server not found errors.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Issues with MACs

I use an older Mac Powerbook and just setup a new Mac Mini at home.  
I've can't remember any issues on my wireless net, or special tweaks.

I would double check the basic IP settings, DNS etc.  Try a few pings  
and traceroutes.
        (Applications folder > Utilities folder > Terminal > type  
"ifconfig"  or alternately look at the Network control panel)

It might be interesting to download Firefox and see if that has the  
same issues as Safari.  Is there a home wifi router involved?

It should just work.
