Leopard Randomly blocking internet

[revmark@gmail.c]

I recently updated to Leopard. Did the upgrade in place. But suddenly Safari will tell me that I have no internet connection.

Example. I could be using Mailplane or Safari to check my GMail accounts. Logs in ok, read a few emails. Go to check another email and the message that I have no internet connection will appear and will not reload. I have to quite the program and restart. This does not happen with Firefox.

This happens when using a router. Does not matter what kind. I was using a Linksys wrt54g. I thought it was a busted router. I now have a dlink DIR-655 on Cox. But if I go direct to the cable modem. no problems. But none of this happens when using Firefox and either router.

When you say, "router," you actually mean a wireless router, right?

This has been an issue since Mac OS X 10.4.11, possibly even 10.4.10:

My workaround was to disable 802.11n networking on my router and only use an 802.11g network. Seems to have worked for me.

An alternative workaround is to turn AirPort off and then back on, but that's cumbersome and, in my opinion, a dumb workaround.
