Hi all

I have a NetGear Router, locked to a Cable Modem from my ISP, I use a WPA setup with Tkip. I have had this enabled since last November. Now for some reason today, the MacBook will NOT CONNECT, it asks for a WPA code, even when I enter the code it comes up "connection timeout"

I have rebooted the entire network, and while everything else connects the MacBook refuses point blank to even attempt, with the connection timeout message showing within seconds of an attempt.

I cannot restore due to GB's of Data being on the HD and no Mac compatible external available.

:(


edit: After running network diagnostics, it now shows connected to the network SSID... however their is no response from attempting to reach websites.

What did you do to sort it? Just got 2 white MacBooks, both displaying very odd wifi behaviour.
