Q: Why does my Macbook keep losing its airport ip address and faling to connect to the internet?
I have Orange broadband connected through a livebox mini wifi connection. I can connect to the internet on my Acer Laptop and my Apple iPhone. I have recently been experiencing problems connecting to the internet using my Macbook Pro. I have noticed the Aiport IP address sometimes self siigns with a 169... After reading forums I have overidden this is network settings and entered the correct IP address. Even when my Macbook is connected to the Liveboc using Aiport or Etherent cable it says the internet has failed despite being able to get on the nternet with other devices.
I have tried a factory reset and whilst this sometimes sorts the problem out for some reson next time I try to connect on my Macbook the same problems reoccur. I would appreciate any advise as I am wasting a lot of time with this problem.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
