[QUOTE="spilio, post: 463307, member: 31935"] Do you have a problem with an existing broadband setup, or do you need to create something from scratch. If you have an existing setup, I'd first ask: - Are you getting broadband connectivity in OSX? - Are all your network adapter drivers up to date? - Do you have a network setup, or do you connect direct to your modem? - If you have a network, what kind is it (wired / wireless)? - Can you connect to your router?? If you're looking to start from scratch, I'd suggest: - Calling your cable company and signing up for broadband Internet service. (≈ $25/mo) - Connect their modem, when it arrives, to your cable outlet. - Buy a wireless router from Radio Shack, or an Airport station from Apple. - Connect that wireless router to the modem. - Configure wireless router following the manufacturer's instructions. - Then lay back on your sofa, and surf the net with speed on your MB. I hope this helps... J [/QUOTE]
