Hey, I'm mostly off line while I'm shifting houses ... but ... In the meantime, I have borrowed this Mac laptop occasionally. It is working off a secured wireless network. I have the password for the network, and I see it on my list of available wireless networks on my PC, but I don't know how to tell from this Mac what the settings are (WEP, key manual or auto, etc.), or how/where to find the 'network key' itself. Is the 'network key' one of the numbers on the back of the wireless router, or is it something the network admin selects/assigns? This stuff is one of those things that I do just seldom enough to forget it all before every time ... Any help much appreciated (and it will allow me to be on line a LOT more during the next week) - Either post here, email me at claymail(AT)bellsouth.net, or feel free to call my cell at 305.788.3399, if you might know how to get this accomplished? TIA ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1126 This should help. Go to system properties\network\Airport\Configure to set up. Then you just need to select the network you want to connect to (don't worry about what type it is) and enter the password (or network key- which is just a hexadecimal password) given by the network administrator or whoever setup the wireless network. If it is not accepting it, try putting a $ in front of the key/password or surrounding the key/password with quotation marks.
