Hi,
I am trying to connect my Macbook Pro to an existing, working internet connection. It looks like it is connected to this network, as there is a checkbox next to it in the AirPort icon menu. However, there is no internet connection. When I use Network Diagnostics in an attempt to resolve the issue, I have a green light on the 1st 2 steps: Airport, and Airport Settings. There is an orange light next to Network Settings, and there is a red light on ISP, Internet, and Server. The steps I take in Network Diagnostics are:
1. Select Location: I choose 'Automatic'.
2. Choose network port configuration: I select 'AirPort'.
3. Select the wireless network you want to join: I select the network, and am prompted for the password. I enter this, and the orange light next to Network Settings changes from orange to red. However, it reverts to orange 5 seconds later. The red lights on red light on ISP, Internet, and Server do not change.
I am then prompted to restart the router, which I already tried, and which didn't resolve the issue.

Any assistance to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

If the encryption on the router is set to WEP, change it to WPA/WPA2. Macs seem not to like WEP, which is a good thing since it can be cracked in about 1 minute by your neighbor"s 10 yr old kid.

Glad it was an easy fix.
