Something strange is happening with my internet, I connect at home via airport extreme to my network. The network works fine and so does the internet connection.
Every so often (every 10 minutes) it loses the internet connection, yet still remains connected to the database, I run a diagnostic it says internet not working and then it will automatically fix it for another ten minutes.
This has suddenly started happening, any idea how to fix it?

I don't know and I haven't ever tried airport, but that is how often i get a stupid popup on my powerbook saying it can't find an internet connection... like I need to know that... it can't find an internet connection because it's a laptop and not connected to the internet. I was able to slow the frequency of them by unchecking the boxes in network services, and lower the frequency of them much more by disabling the stuff in the... (what do you callit the thing that has widgets) I disabled the widgets that are internet related like stock quotes and stuff.

I think that popup that hunts every ten minutes may have a bug on yours and is disconnecting you, maybe one of your widgits is screwed up or something, try turning them off but just one at a time so youll know when you find the culprit, the ones that need internet like yellow pages, stock quotes, weather report etc.

and try unchecking any boxes that are for auto updates or any that won't disable your network configuration.

Better yet apple.com has a forum and they are very knowledgeable and helpful.


Whoever at apple decided to put a popup on these should be sent to prison, I don't need no friggin popup telling me I'm not connected to internet, thats absurd. They must be hiring people from microsoft.
