I have two burning questions,
1 why do I keep loosing my wireless network connection (the system seems to forget my network data..and
2 why do some web pages display incorrectly (overlapping data and unable to select from page)
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
While your two questions seem to indicate an underlaying problem with your network, I will ask for what URLs are you having these problem with? If you will provide them to us then we can test them to see if we are able to duplicate your problems.

Hi Allan.
The network problem is 'general' I get connected, leave the machine and then get a report; not connected to network!! the iMac seems to forget my previous input and says my network isn't available, and yet shows the network in its list, insisting I tell it the Wireless SSID and password, even though I've told it to remember both.
The URL is 'currently' but not exclusively the Mail rewards scheme. https://mailrewardsclub.mailonline.co.uk/WeekendClub
I log in and get the card number entered, but the reward selection is jumbled and I cant select form the various options,
I see you're Stateside so won't know this newspaper URL or very likely be able to log in (without having registered) but I have experienced this problem elswhere, pages not displaying clearly, but overlapping items not allowing readability or where necessary selection of icons.
Cheers
I was not able to open the Rewards selection because I have no account there but the rest of the site worked perfectly fine for me.
Have you tried using your iMac wired instead of wireless? Doing this as a test might prove informative.

Cheers Allan.
I assumed that would be the case, as I say, I get that far without much problem, its the rewards page where it goes wrong. If I find another more generic URL where this happens, I'll let you know.
I've not tried the non-wireless route as my office is upstairs and the hub downstairs, I may give it a try, but other than if it worked properly in that state I've no idea what it would prove about the wireless connection??
I see others have previously posted in regard to their network data being dropped by their computer and having to re-connect inputting their data. Mine sometimes still wont get an IP address even when i re-input my SSID and wireless key.

I suggested the wired connection because I have had it happen in the past where the parameters for the network were changed during an upgrade. Everyone told me that should not happen but in my case it did. Until I tried a wired connection on my MBP and found it did work correctly wireless, I felt like I was chasing my tail. Once I knew it did wotk wired, I was able to trace the problem to its resolution.
In case you are going to ask I don't remember exact which parameter it was now see as how it happened a couple of years ago.
Good luck.

Allan.
Been off-line as my wi-fi simply wouldn't connect. It kept asking for the key but wouldn't accept it.
I'm currently wired, and have re-set my wifi which is showing as working perfectly but I don't trust that if I move back upstairs it will continue.
Someone else suggeted changing the hub channel but didn't say how so my next mail will be asking them.
Thanks for communicating, but I don't think I'm any nearer to an answer!
Allan
I've posted on a similar thread, not sure what you're monitoring!!
I tried hard wired, and naturally that worked, having re-established the wi-fi that seemed ok, (but was untested) I went back to wireless and the system had again lost all knowledge of available systems, HOWEVER, having re-typed all my data it worked and has been 'stable' for over a day (and a night).
Cheers

Glad you solved the problem.
