10.4.10 and wireless problems

Hello,

I think I may have the 10.4.10 problem -- here are my symptoms:

Wireless icon in toolbar shows full strength
Network control panel shows that I'm pulling a valid IP from the wireless router (in my case, 192.168.1.2)
'Network Diagnostics' initially reports problems sometimes, but then figures out that everything is OK
Router admin shows that internet is working, and indeed can connect through ethernet from router, and router is pulling a 'real' ip address from modem
Firefox, Safari, Mail, Software update, etc can not connect to the internet.


If Network Diagnostics can see that the settings are valid, why can't TCP/IP apps work? Is there some kind of bindings thing I can run that would work?

I'm currently typing this with an ethernet cord hooked in, which is SO late 90's.

This all happened when I updated to 10.4.10.

a) How do you downgrade to 10.4.9?
b) How do we notify Apple of this problem?
c) Is it MacBooks only, or everyone?

Thanks all!

Macbook Black, Mac OS X (10.4.3), 2 gigs RAM, creative apps

Yes, I have the identical problem. It's driving me crazy!

It has nothing to do with my router or anything else. I run XP via boot camp on the same computer with no problems. It happened at exactly the same time as I updated to 10.4.10.

I can sometimes overcome it by turning airport off and on, other times I have to restart. If I am downloading a large file, it will eventually stall.

If anybody has any solution to this, I will be forever grateful!
