Something appears to be wrong with my new cMBP and Mountain Lion.
I'm not sure of the exact cause, but it seems like when the Screen-Saver comes on or it goes to Sleep that I am losing my Wi-Fi Connection... 😕
Yesterday I had both my old MacBook and new cMBP out while I continued to set things up on my new cMBP.
On my old MacBook (this one) with Snow Leopard, I have the following settings...
These settings seem to work just fine.
(**NOTE: My main goals are that I want the security of a screen-saver, but also do NOT want anything to disrupt my recording of Streaming Audio in the background!!!
If I get up and walk away, I expect my screen-saver to come on and protect my laptop, but I want everything running in the back ground as normal!!)
********
I don't have my new cMBP with me here at work, but I believe I have the settings set in a similar manner in Mountain Lion.
On to the problem...
Yesterday I was working primarily from my old MacBook, and when I would go back to my new cMBP, the screen-saver would always be on.
After logging back in, I noticed that my Personal VPN connection and Wi-Fi Internet Connection always seemed to be down... 😕
I played around with the settings on my new cMBP, and tried to make them similar to this old MacBook, but the problem persisted.
Once I get my new cMBP finally set up, I will be *really mad* if I am recording a radio show, my screen-saver comes on and/or my laptop goes to sleep, and I end up losing my Internet Connection?! 😡
It seems to me like there is a bug with Mountain Lion, but who knows?!
Any idea what might be the problem?
Is it a setting issue?
Or is ML screwed up?
Sincerely,
Debbie
