bobjer bobjer New User Registered: 08/30/02 Posts: 6	After installing 10.4 everytime I close the lid of my laptop, I have to manually reconnect to my wireless LAN. I did not have this problem before upgarding and fiddling with the network setting does not solve it. Other than that, bravo Apple. bob

Re-enter your password and your golden. now it will auto connect every time. Now if someone can help with my problem that would be great. "All applications crash when highlighting bonjour."

That selection won't be available for your previoulsy made location settings. That's why you need to create a new one. After you set the setting to "Automatic," you won't have to manually turn on AirPort anymore. _________________________ _________________________________ Mac mini Core 2 Duo 2.0, 10.5.4 17" MacBook Pro 2.4, 10.5.4 iBook Dual USB, 10.4.11 MacBook Air 1.8, 10.5.4
