[QUOTE="1rsmithc, post: 390257, member: 30973"] hi, a few months ago i finally persuaded my dad to switch to mac promising him it would be the end of all his troubles as so many had me believe. He grudgingly accepted on the basis that i sorted out the internet, network etc - just making it work basically! Anyway we bought a new mac mini with most of the available upgrades off the mac website, an airport extreme and a netgear modem. After following the instructions online and from the manuals i still cant make it work so that the mac connects wirelessly to a network with the internet provided by the airport extreme. Can anyone help me??? It seems as though the mac's airport doesnt find the airport extreme despite the fact that they are next to one another. When i use the airport utility the mac sometimes finds the A.E. but sometimes doesnt and has never had an internet connection. Also the modem i am using has never had an internet light lit up - is this the problem - if so how do i fix it??? thanks CHarlie [/QUOTE]
