I'm running a wireless home network on a 2wire router/modem. The connections include a primary desktop PC (wired), 2nd desktop PC (wireless), laptop PC (wireless), XBox 360 (wireless) and Mac iBook (wireless).

Everything works fine when using the Windows based systems/XBox but when the Mac is introduced into the mix, the whole thing goes flaky. The Mac seems to retain it's connection but the other wireless connections keep dropping intermittently. On attempting connection I keep getting the Limited or No Connectivity dialogue, it all seems to fail when attempting to assign IP address.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or how to fix it?
