I'll go thru this step by step.
I have an ADSL router and an ethernet cable to my Macbook. Internet OK on Macbook. I have tried to get my iBook wirelessly onto the internet also via the Macbook.
I created a network from the Macbook called "Macbooks computer".
When I open my iBook I have a tick against "Macbooks Computer" in the dropbox under the wireless icon which has now become a network icon.
HOWEVER
I don't get internet on the iBook!
SO
I open internet connect, and under airport it says power on and strong signal.
Under Summary it says "Airportr to computer."
When i open system prefs and go to Network it shows an amber light against airport and says Airport is connected to the computer to computer network Macbooks Computer.
The strange thing is I'm sure I got internet to the iBook once earlier on.
If there are two ways, with and without security, I'd love to know them both.( I have searched thru threads and always find there's a term i don't know or something).
Any advice mucho appreciado...please make it step by step and assume nothing about my computer lingo abilities.
Thanx from rainy season in Siam!
