My mac is behaving strangely, when I boot it gets assigned an IP from my router's DHCP server but after a short period of time it swaps it's ip to one which the network prefs window says "(self assigned)", why and how is it doing this? This happens under Airport and Built-in-ethernet.
Until very recetly everything was working brilliantly, then my airport went wierd, looks like a dead access point, and now it does it under the wired ethernet too. Its not the DHCP server as far as I can see because a XP machine is wired to the router as well and never has any problems.
Hope someone can help, I'm going mad with having to keep rebooting my mac which incndentally seems to be taking quite a while these days.
Cheers
