Hey All,

I've searched the archives and was unable to find a reason behind this madness - much less a fix.

I set up a 128 bit encryption Network location through AirPort for the Wii to connect (according to this step-by-step at MacRumors). It works beautifully, until I reboot or restart.

Sometimes, after rebooting or restarting, I'll get a grey wedge with white arrow icon in the header bar. This icon tells me I can connect to the network from the Wii. But that is the exception, not the norm. I'll usually get either the grey wedge outline or the grey stripped icon - in both cases, I can not connect from the Wii to the Mac.

To get connected, I have to re-create the network or go back to the Sharing panel, de-select Internet Sharing and then re-enable Internet Sharing.

Why is the network 'lost' after restart and/or reboot? How can I get OSX to remember this network and enable it automatically after each restart and reboot?

Thanks to you all!!!!

~John.
