okay if anybody can help me please please do so.
Today i come into the office as usual to check email and what not on my tibook, but when i try to connect to the net nothing happens. It was just working fine on friday and now sunday it has gone bad.

1. i did not restart or shut down my computer since i last connected on friday.
2. i am able to connect in OS 9
3. when i start up in os x i get a long minute or so of the blue screen and beach ball before the login screen appears. which only happens when i have the ethernet cord plugged in. when it was unhooked it goes directly to the login screen.
4. i tried to make a new user and the user pane took around 3 min to open and froze when i chose to save the new created user.
5. i created new network prefs and that had no effect.
6. i do not have norton.
7. oh, i am using 10.1.5

if anyone has any idea as to how to fix this let me know. thanks. i did find something somewhat simular in the archives but they were able to connect after reboot which i am not able to do.
 
I know that some people have had a problem with 10.1.5 losing a connection. For example my dad has a problem everytime he unhooks his PowerBook from our cable modem network and takes it away. Or when he puts it to sleep and wakes it up. It looses the connection. The computer has dropped the IP issued via dhcp. For me what worked was playing with the network settings by changing them to something else then changing it back to dhcp. Then it would eventually draw a new IP from the DHCP server.

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but it probably is. It appears to be a bug in 10.1.5. Goodluck.
 
thanks for your suggestion. but in the office i'm at we have 4 static ip's so i have to use the one i'm already given. but i will play around with it if i can...maybe re-installing 10.1.5 will help?
 
I found a soulution in the knowledge base. i guess there is a bug in 10.1.5 that makes the network go bad. You have to delete your com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file and restart.
