Tiger Bit My Wireless Network

Last night I installed Tiger, the new version of MacOS X, on my iBook and I can't say I'm happy with it right now. I am unable to connect to the network with it and when the iBook is running, it does crazy things to my router, causing it to continuously reboot itself. The only way I can stop it is to turn the iBook off or sleep it, otherwise I can't use the network on my main PC.

I worked with the settings a little while last night and got it to quit rebooting my router. However, even though it says that Airport is connected to the Internet, Safari tells me otherwise. I got too tired to continue working with it and I had to go to bed.

This morning I quickly checked the Apple discussion forums and found that other people are having similar problems. Supposedly, an update will resolve some of these issues, but in order to get the update I have to be able to, you know, connect to the Internet with my iBook.

**rolling eyes**

So, this evening, I will have to figure out how to get my iBook on the network again. And yes, I already tried using Ethernet to connect to the router directly and that didn't work either.

But remember folks, Apple is perfect in every way and never has any problems...they are not at all like those incompetents at Microsoft. [/sarcasm]

Update: W00t! It's working now! I was too tired to think of trying this last night, but here's what I did: I bypassed the router altogether and plugged the iBook directly into the cable modem via Ethernet. (I found out through reading many discussion threads that the issue was Tiger not liking my D-Link wireless router.) I was able to get connected and I downloaded the updates (which fix the problems Tiger has with D-Link routers). Then I put everything back the way it was and tried setting up the wireless connection again and it worked!
