oh yes. i do remember that. it frequently lost the connection and browsing, downloading or fetching mail was interrupted... god, i hated it. it turned out that the channel i had chosen and worked with for more than a year was disturbed by something. i could have been my neighbours microwave, a dect/wireless phone (although mine never made problems before, but what do i know of my neighbours new purchases...), the wireless tv-transmission (i could see distortion when the mac and the airport base station talked to each other) or just plain bad luck. i did try to move the airport, the cube, opened all doors, closed them, whatever i did didn't help, except for changing the channel. now i'm using channel 8 or 10, and since then it hasn't happened again. i read a lot about this while it was bugging me, and it turned out that the old graphite base stations (the one i own) showed this behaviour before failing alltogether. there also was a description of what to do then (it's a burned out capacitor, as far as i remember). here's the full story: http://www.vonwentzel.net/ABS/Repair/index.html the http://www.vonwentzel.net/ -site has generally some good info about the graphite base station for the technically inclined. good luck. wolf On 17.03.2004, at 18:46, Alex M wrote: > Hi there, > > My airport connection keeps dropping it's connection with my (original, > graphite) Airport.
