Hi, I live in an apartment block with a friend and we have a neighbour that has wireless and they have said we can use it too. Trouble is I cannot seem to connect to it with my Mac Book Pro, but my friend who has a very old PC laptop with D-Link card gets on it with ease. My aiprort symbol only gets a few bars but I cannot get anywhere on the internet. Safari seems like it is trying to connect for about a minute then say 'you are not connected to internet'. Anyone have any sugesstions please. Thanks very much.

Does your neighbor have encryption/security configured? If so, what type?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure of the security, we never had to enter any passwords or anything. I could get on a one point in the beginning, but cant seem to anymore.

You need to find that out before we go any further.
