[QUOTE="chuckalicious, post: 195338, member: 14875"] How is the router set up? Can your airport card see the network it's trying to connect to? If so, try turning off ALL security on the routers wireless side (ie no WEP or WPA) and ensure there is no mac address filtering (it'll be in there somewhere!) and ensure DHCP is working. Also, can you plug your machine in via an ethernet cable to one of the ports and see if you can connect to the network that way? If you can connect via a cable that's something. Now basically you need to try and connect to the router wirelessly with no encryption. If that works, try turning on the encryption on both the router and the mac. [/QUOTE]
