[QUOTE="Bilobrkster, post: 916456, member: 28368"] My neighbour has a problem. He just got a brand new iMac 20" which I talked him into :D but he can't connect to the internet. He has 2 windows laptops and a PC with a wifi card and they connect beautifully and fast. He has two sets of user informations. One set is for the connection from the router to the network, and the other for the connection from the computer to the router. The iMac (as does my Macbook) sees the router, but can't connect to it. We tried creating a PPPoE connection but to no avail. :[ You can rule out a malfunction on the Airport card because when I share my own ethernet connection the iMac can see it and connect to it and CAN go online. The most annoying thing is that his windows laptops connect without a hitch, and my Macbook and his iMac cannot! :Shouting: Please help me. :( P.S. He's even thinking of installing windows on it completely!:o :o :o [/QUOTE]
