I have a 2009 24 iMac, and a 2010 27 iMac.

Ethernet goes to the 27 which connects me to the world.

I use the AirPort feature to communicate between the two computers.

Airport enables internet use on the 24, and enables file sharing.

The two computers are only 5 feet apart.

Pretty much every day, the computers get amnesia, and forget their or lose their network connection. Right this second, I can file share (the little monitor icon on the upper bar tells me so), but I cannot get internet on the 24.
If I could get the arrow pointing up icon to come up, I would have internet sharing.

The file sharing is working, but not internet connection.

This is a recurring problem. 4 calls to Apple care have provided only momentary fixes. Their last suggestion was to get AirPort Extreme. However, I think what I have should be able to be made to work.

Any help out their?
