Sleep and airport xpress

[stubeeef]

When I wake my 12" 1.33ghz from sleep (OSX10.3.5), my baseball diamond is grey, not black, I have to go back each time and select my network again, This is a new development, I have not loaded the latest security update.

Any ideas, it used to always be on when woken from sleep if it was on before sleep.


Thanks in advance.

I have this exact problem, except I'm using an AirPort Extreme base station to connect. I must admit that it is quite frustrating to constantly lose my wireless connection every time I wake my Mac. Fortunately, I have an Ethernet connection I can fall back on when AirPort decides to not work. I've had this problem with previous versions of Mac OS X v10.3 (I got my AirPort Extreme card after 10.3 was released).

What kills me is, I didn't start with this problem. I just started happening. I can't think of a reason.

I just want it the way it was...............

What AirPort settings does your Network Location have? Automatically join? Join a specific network? Have you changed the ssid at all?

Yup... I actually have the same problem. Airport Card loses connection whenever laptop wakes up from sleep. However, I notice that when the laptop is "forced" to sleep, i.e. the display lid is closed during activity, Airport still retains wireless signal after the lid is opened.

BUT, if the laptop goes to sleep by itself, i.e. display darkens after a brief period of inactivity, wireless signal is lost after it wakes up... hmm... very confusing.

stubeef>>I'm gonna try ur tips and will see if it will work. (I don't have a wireless connection at the moment). thanx!
