airport problems

[ri0ku]

Everytime I start my mbp i now have to wait abouts 2 minutes until my internet works.... (even tho I will be connected to my home network straight away)

This has started happening recently (past 4 days or so) but before.. I could start my mbp up and open safari straight away and have internet access...

This waiting for 2 minutes thing is really annoying.. can anyone help me out?

edit: sometimes even waiting for a few minutes doesnt help and I still have no net access (but it states im connected to my network) but sometimes if I close the lid of the mbp and then re open it the internet comes on...

This is an annoying thing to have to do for a 1,500 machine.. it should just work as before.. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys

I had a similar problem. Theirs two cache folders. Delete everything and it fixed it for me.

Where are the cached files stored? i tried wiping the connection in the network settings but i dont think i was doing it right.. because it still managed to keep my password for the network remembered.

Where are the 2 cached files you mentioned so I can delete them to see if it solves the issue?

thanks

Have you tried restoring it to it's factory settings? I think that would help but you'd have to reconfigure everything. Do it a step at a time and see which setting is causing the connection issue.

Well I tried to clear the connection and remake it but i dont think im doing that right... because for some reason even if I wipe off my network.. and find it again back in the list it doesnt ask me for the WEP key it just connects so its still got the wep key stored so im guessing im not deleting the connection properly :S

I mean hold the reset button down (it's on the back next to the kensington lock) until the light flashes rapidly and then let go. It will be like you just got it out of the box.
