Wilkinw, Thank you for the pointer. This worked for me. I have posted URL's and informative text from the tip.

This message is sometimes accompanied by dropous in wireless connectivity. The potential fix is as follows: Delete the following files from Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration * com.apple.airport.preferences.plist * NetworkInterfaces.plist * preferences.plist * com.apple.nat.plist then restart. This fix is similar to one that we've recommended for wireless connectivity issues after various security and system updates. It's a good first line of attack if you're having such problems after an incremenal Mac OS X or security update. Feedback? http://www.macfixit.com/contact.
