Apple Grrl

Leopard users have complained about not being able to keep an internet connection. The fix is relatively easy, and involves changing a default setting that was added in Leopard. This user says it best:

Well, this problem isn’t just with me, it’s actually quite widespread and has been mentioned all over the Internet and Apple support discussion forums. But…I have a fix! You see, Leopard has changed the way in which OS X reads network traffic, as part of their new Firewall setup. I won’t go into a huge explanation, as it is quite techy and geeky. The simple fix is, to open up Network preferences, and select the advanced tab. From here you click on TCP/IP and under the settings for Configure IPv6 turn it off, completely off. This instantly fixed the problem for me.

I tried the fix and it solved my dropped connection issues right away. thanks, Victor!
