Sorry, forgot to tell: 
I use in YDL and macos9 a static IP adress to connect to a router, other local 
machines and internet, instead of DHCP. 
Maybe it has something to do with this. But I can`t try DHCP. Because our 
local network has some serious problems with DHCP, and the network could go 
down.
