Hi there,
I recently came over to a relative´s house in Peru for vacation and brought my macbook pro laptop with me thinking I can use it if I get bored. Unfortunately, she does not have wireless internet, only a modem she connects to her windows xp desktop via ethernet cable. I disconnected the cable from her tower and plugged it into my laptop, ran safari, and it says I am not connected to the internet. I thought you could just plug in the wire that is plugged into the modem and it would work, but obviously I was wrong. I urgently need help because I need to work on my computer but I need internet. I´m kind of a newbie at all this internet stuff, so please try to go step by step. I greatly appreciate all the help. Thanks in advance
