I wonder if something else is wrong. Setting ip's to me means no DHCP. I've never had to resort to fixed ip's. I'm out of my normal element here.

On the beach ball, I don't know what the time out is for the Mac, but if it can't find another network, it'll keep looking and like you, I finally give up and push the eject button.

On the Cape Town, computers and their networks should all be fairly universal (if that is possible with so many "experts" around ;-) ).

I have just set the IP addresses for the laptops, and I'll give it some hours to see if my adsl usage stays ok. Desktops connect by ethernet so they'll be secure, I suppose. If I do need to go the password route I'll be back

Hello,

thank you motsteve :

I reinstalled Leopard (erase), turned off encryption and firewall ;
I do get Airport signal, but "no connection" when on Safari.

I am attaching a link to a thread I opened at Apple forum to attempt to solve this issue : it feels so close to be solved, yet frustrating (as you may appreciate from my latest post) may be the router needs a reset...

http://discussions.apple.com/thread....71840&tstart=0

Anyway, thank you for your help

Henri
