We have a ridiculous amount of trouble with that kind of thing, and may I say, Apple, if you're listening, you're totally shooting yourself in the foot with this. There's no logic to which machines will talk to which routers and protocols, either. It's ridiculous that I can have two machines, same hardware, unboxed on the same day and set up from the same install disk image, and one of them will talk to the brand-new Linksys router and one won't. Very frustrating. Best of luck with yours, and be sure, if I ever figure out a trick, it'll immediately be up here. :) @joe - No, sadly, I don’t.

Working with enterprise support, do you have any suggestions? It's a bit humiliating when the Asus Eee can be relied upon to connect every time and the iMac can't!
