Q: hello, I am new to Mac and I use a new Macbook Pro that runs on Mac OS X version 10.7.2
hello everyone,
I am a new Mac user. I own a MacBook Pro running on Mac OS X v.10.7.2 Lion
here is the issue... everytime I come and work in my office... my Mac will not reconnect automatically to the wireless network there.
The thing that has worked in the past was to go in the network diagnostics menu
where I would get assisted to set up a DHCP connection
I would restart the DSL modem then the router
and the connection would finally work.
Also when the computer goes to sleep or i close the lid then it will do the same and I would have to restart all that hardware again.
This only happens in my office and when I try to log on other wireless networks, I just enter a password and it works fine
No need to tell you that it is a huge hassle because I cannot cut the internet connection of my colleagues everytime i want to reconnect
any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
thanks

Hello, & a warm welcome to the Forums & Macdom!
Might try one of these...
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. Before I went through network diagnostics and all of that stuff in system preferences, and then I tried the "Join Other Network" method, and now it works like a dream.

The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
