mac Mini internet problems

[admyrick]

Hi,
I'm new to the forums but getting tired of this stupid problem. For about 2 or 3 weeks I have been having a lot of problems with my Mini staying connected to the internet. Whenever I get off the computer and it falls asleep, when i get back on and get on the internet, its saying that i'm not connected to the internet. So i click on network diagnostics, choose which network im on and go to the next step. then it tells me that my network settings have changed and everythings fine. This morning i experienced a problem where i tried to get on a game store's website, and it told me that there was an error. so i attempted to get on another website and it did the same thing.
Can someone please help, it's driving me nuts having this problem.

Mac OS X 10.5.4
1.42 GHz PowerPC G4--Processor
512 MB DDR SDRAM--Memory

This is the information for my computer, is it possible that i need more memory or something?

Please help,
Thank you,
Andy

Lack of memory is not causing the problem.

Are you connecting to the internet via wireless or hardwire?

 

[admyrick]

i am connected using my airport so wireless.

 

[Cave Man]

Try: System Preferences > Security > Firewall > select Allow all incoming connections.

 

[admyrick]

it's already set on that
i just checked

This is a long shot, but maybe the internal antenna connection is loose. You
could check that.

Recent changes to base station

Have you made any recent changes to the base station config ?

Have you added any new machines to your wireless cloud ?

What version of the airport are you using ?

These things matter too.
