[QUOTE="Shootist, post: 1377960, member: 232297"] Don't worry about the MAC filtering. If you don't know what it is more then likely your roommates don't either and it is no enabled. Mac's have a hard time connecting to any older Wireless security. WPA is older, WPA2 is newer but if this is a router/modem supplied by AT&T for there Uverse system then it is a newer modem and more then likely has WPA2 enabled. Do you see the WiFi SSID name in the list of available networks? and if you do when you click on it you type in a password and it connects? Open System Preferences and then Networking and post the IP address the WiFi card is getting from the router. Don't worry that IP address is a private address and can't be reached from the internet. It more then like starts with 192.168.x.x. My home LAN is 192.168.1.1-.100 [/QUOTE]
