Re: MacBooks and Wireless problem

Another possible avenue to explore (we had a similar sounding issue with
PCs) is the length of the DHCP lease. When we had to shorten our lease
time the problems occurred with greater frequency.

Subject: MacBooks and Wireless problem

We have a laptop cart that has 30 laptops. We are continuing to have a
problems with the connections being dropped when they are logged off and
sit till the next day. Some come up and some don't. If I sign on as a
local user and reconnect everything works fine. The students are logging
on as managed accounts in opened directory. If the connection is lost,
the student can't sign on. Any ideas would help.

Thanks in advance.
