[QUOTE="Starky, post: 285055, member: 23675"] The only reason that I went to tech support in the first place was because access to that network is for computer science students only. Luckily I am counted as both a Computer Science and a Electronic and Electrical Engineering student so I get access to both networks as well as the main one. They PAT-test your machine first and then give you an authentication key to gain access to the network. The guys said though that the c2d macbooks wont work, he said it was something to do with the c2d chipset. what the chipset has to do with the wireless connection i dont know however. regardless i will go in again on monday but i think it is a problem with the specific netgear model, so i can understand if you have been connected with another model and not had any problems. the thing is there is little i can do without the authentication key anyway so my first step would have to be convincing the technicians that it can be done. i dont think a first year student walking in and telling them that they are wrong will go down very well if i dont have much idea about what to do. ah well ill take an ethernet cable with me :l Hmmm another thing. I have iStat pro and it won't give me temperature readings, it says there is no sensor. [/QUOTE]
