[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1059260, member: 8287"] Do you know what encryption the WiFi on the BTHomeHub router is using? Is it WEP? I found a few pages on using that BTHomeHub with OSX but they seem to contradict. Any 169. IP address is a Self Assigned one by the OS because it can't get one from DHCP on the router. If his is set up like the one webpage on that router I found, you need to be sure WEP is set up for WEP 40/128-bit hex. Write back and let me know if it's using WEP as there are issues a lot of times with OSX and WEP. I have always been able to solve it though for my equipment. Also here is the one page I found on Connecting an OSX machine Via Wifi on that BTHomeHub. [url]http://v3.thewatchmakerproject.com/journal/364/connect-mac-osx-to-bt-home-hub-wireless[/url] [/QUOTE]
