Hello,

I am having a huge problem with my mac mini. The only way I can use it for internet is by going wireless. I use a dlink router with a USB wireless adapter. Now the problem is when I go wireless with the mac mini it freezes after about 2 minutes. But when I go hard wire with it, it works fine. I called Apple and we reinstalled everything and did all the fancy tests they do. I called Dlink (the router manufactuer) and they said nothing was wrong with the router because i have 2 other Windows PC's connected to it wirelessly. This problem is really irritating me, please help.

Thank you,
Chris

Does your Mac mini not have wireless networking built-in? Wireless USB adaptors tend to be pretty flaky under Mac OS X...

No I didnt want to pay $100 for built in wireless cause I had a dlink dongle i was using. And I think the dlink dongle is the problem.......not sure though.
