Not sure I've seen exactly that, but if you're seeing this on a Mac, one
possibly useful drill is:
* Pull down the menu below the Airport icon in the menu bar (4
quarter-circle arcs), select Open Network Preferences (last item in the
dropdown menu).
* In the list in the lefthand column of the Network window, select the
connection you think you're using, if it's not already highlighted. (My
list says "Airport (connected)", then "Ethernet (not connected", then
"FireWire (not connected)", with the first of these highlighted.
* Click the "Assist Me..." button at the bottom of this window.
* In the box that drops down, click the "Diagnostics..." button.
* In the Network Diagnostics window that opens, read the instructions;
ponder the green and/or red Network Diagnostics buttons in the left
column of that window; and click the Continue button and go from there.
[You can always back out of the subsequent windows and steps this leads
you into.]
