[QUOTE="MaxRulez, post: 1251117, member: 115002"] Ok, I guess I spoke too soon. I was apparently on another person's network, not my own. In the Network section of System Preferences I clicked the plus symbol to create a new location, then used Airport as the interface and Airport as the service name in the popup box. Then I press the turn Airport On button and I get a whole bunch of networks in the pulldown menu that I don't recognize. Since I obviously don't know the passwords for any of these networks, I can't join them. I try the Advanced button and get a new window, then click the plus button to create a new network and just put in "MyWifi" as the name and then I choose WPA2 Personal as the password encryption, then I enter a password. Even after I do this, the network I just created doesn't show up in the pulldown menu in the main Network window while Airport is on. I can't completely get the thing to work but I am close. I just want to create my own network through Airport using my DSL modem from my ATT internet connection. [/QUOTE]
