I have a wireless set up at home and at school, how can I set it up so that in the location i can set it to Automatic and forget it? Bc at home my IP address is different I think.

Thanks

    yup automatic will work, make sure you have airport set to choose any available network....

    Under System Preference, Airport, set it to select "Join most recently used available network." That should do it.



    Okay: I promise to stop playing with the color.

    you can't download pages?... are you connected to the wireless networks?



    if not



    go to prefs-->networkshow>airport-->TCP/IPConfigure>Using DHCP (I assume)



    are both Airport locations set up the same way?



    if they are not.... you must set up different locations for each config and save them... then from networkLocation>automatic
