o automatical Airport connection...

[penadigital]

Hello.

Since I've upgraded my router to 2Wire's 2700HGV-2 Gateway, my Airport connection doesn't start automatically. And it shows the following message:

I've to choose from the Airport menu bar my internet connection...

Can someone help?

My Mac:
MacBook (White) 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Mac OS X 10.4.10

repair permissions? (bad access error made me think of it and it's a safe first step to try)

Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > repair disk permissions.

Tried that. It didn't work...

It keeps showing the same message everytime I login..

I read somewhere that kernel protection failures are often caused by bad RAM or bad input devices - Airport, USB, firewire, etc. Any chance something is loose?

Don't think so...

Btw...

Forgot to say that I've Windows XP installed (via Bootcamp) and when I login, it automatically detects and joins internet without a problem.

So, I reckon it's not something loose. I believe there might be an important file corrupted in OS X. I simply don't want to format and install everything all over... *sigh*

Problem solved

Problem solved!

Went to Airport configuration at System Preferences and deleted the network information. After that, I re-configured the network connection (network name, type of encryption and password) and voilà!

Weird stuff! But hey, it's working! No more airport crashes at login

Excellent! (why is it always the simple things?)

Glad it's sorted.
