Internet connection using Airport
Ok,
I have a "snow" iBook that has an Airport Card. Yesterday, while I was surfing wireless on Internet Explorer, it stopped loading the page I was going to and went into an everlasting thing when the Internet Explorer logo at the top-right corner spins aroung over and over. I then opened Internet Connect and saw that I still had a strong Airport connection. I looked at the bottom of Internet Connect and it said that the "status is unavailabele" when I still had a strong Airport signal!
Can anyone help me with this problem???

I have TWO airport Base Stations at my house and I think that one of them works better than the other. One is an old Base Station and the other is a new one. But, I still sometimes have problems...

I got an idea. Open the Terminal and type in the following:
ping "enter the IP address of the base station"
Where "enter the IP address of the base station" is actually =
Airport Base Station IP address
If you get packets returned without any significant loss, then try:
Ping www.yahoo.com
If you still get packets returned without any significant loss, you connection tot he internet is fine.
Good Luck.
