it seems once again, the airport in my mac mini keeps disconnecting, then giving me errors on reconnecting - sometimes, even after restarting it's not able to connect to the router at all, giving me 168.254.xxx.xxx network addresses. I've tried the DCHP settings, as well as manual but nothing seems to work. The wireless network is currently set to G-only mode, WPA2-Mixed and has a MAC Address filter on there also.

It's not just the wireless problem that I'm having either, I've linked the airport disconnection to the router resetting the internet connection (something is making it have to reconnect to the DSL as soon as the Mac Mini errors, or has been connected for a while) and I'd obviously like that to stop...

I've done an erase and install on the Mac Mini once already to fix a problem with my fonts being all messed up, but I just wondered if there was any way of clearing all the network settings and starting them fresh (or an outright fix) instead of nuking OSX...

It's not the router (as it's new and the Macbook Pro connects to it fine and never drops connection, same with the other wireless devices in the house) so it can only be the mini...
