Its home network. I have tried to find the symptom on the net and found out this is not the first case, few users already experienced this kind of problem.

I think the problem is because the hardware (ethernet port) and Snow Leopard not matching properly.

What i did yesterday was fully reinstall the whole system, did the last software update and now it works either by ethernet cable or wireless.

Thanks
