Hi there,
I'm house-sitting for a friend with wireless internet. We've both got macs, mine's a macbook pro running OSX 10.4 & my friend has got a Netgear wireless router in the house which I'm trying to connect through.
Before my friend left the country he had his macbook set up with wireless internet access no problem. I've now moved in having never used wireless before thinking it'd be easy to set up - alas not much luck so far!
I've got the airport switched on, I've connected to the wireless network by entering the password he left me. The signal's strong but for some reason I can't access any websites.
Is there something I'm not doing right?
Do I need to find out the IP address of the wireless router & enter them in my network settings somewhere?
Any suggestions are most welcome.
Cheers
