I have had this annoying problem with my Macbook Pro. Sometimes when waking the machine from sleep, the machine can not connect to the selected Airport network and then hangs with spinning pizza of death.
Apples next update to 10.5.3 looks like it will fix it. Hopfully Apple will release it soon…
From Fixed list of Mac OS X update 10.5.3 - Joining AirPort network after wake issue resolved
After trying to start VPN Tracker 4 and failing after upgrading to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 I could no longer contact any servers at the same domain as the network I tried to connect to. To fix this, look inside the /etc/resolver directory, if there is a couple of files called vpn-resolver-#### you have to remove these files to get everything to work again.
There’s a new version 5 of VPN Tracker that supposedly fixes problems with Leopard, but you have to buy an upgrade. I just wish that Apple could make a front end to Racoon. It’s very irritating to have to pay Equinux $80 to get functionality that’s essentially built in the operating system. And I have always hated their way of locking the program to one specific machine serial number.
