Mac Wifi Connection problems when Kindle present
Wifi works great on my macbook (running 10.7.4)... until Dockaroo's dad brings over his kindle.
At that point the mac will not connect. I get a DNS failure, but the DNS is fine otherwise.
As soon as the kindle leaves, the Mac wifi works without issue.
Thoughts?

How would I check for IP conflict? Physically check his and my device?
Whenever it happens I have it reassign an IP through "Automotic DHCP" or whatever.
Doesn't seem to help.

I'm certainly no network expert, but I had a similar problem earlier this summer and it was an IP conflict. What kind of router are you using? It is in bridge mode? Try moving switching the router over to double NAT mode so that the router is instead serving up multiple private IPs.
