Q: I am having successive problems with wi-fi. I can not access the internet despite a good wireleess signal. I have to restart the computer to get access to the internet. I have no idea of the problem. Txs. Regards.

Txs for your reply. It is only the computer, As I told you the wi-fi icon tells me that the network connection is ok. But I can not get access to the internet. Sometimes, my impresssion is that it happens when I am using Google Docs. Regards.

Thanks for your reply. Let me try to make the problem a bit more clear.  My problem with the wi-fi happens only with the imac. My bookpro and my iphone and ipad int he same place  as the imac access the internet with no problem.

The problem in the imac is that it changes network configuration withe the following status message appearing in the Open network preferences:

Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.22.50 and will not be able to connect to the Internet.

when it should have

Wi-Fi is connected to REIS and has the IP address 10.0.1.3. or something like taht to work

The problem is that the imac keep shifting sometimes in minutes from one configuration to the other.

Is there any suggestion or solution?

Grateful

Thanks for your reply. I did follow your instructions but after one day the configuration of the network started shifting again in the same way. Any other suggestion? Grateful
