[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1769212, member: 110816"] Yes, the network available are the WiFi access points (AP). The bars indicate what the signal strength is between you and the AP. The more bars, the better the strength. The lock indicates that it's a secure AP and requires a password to get connected. Look at the image below at my connection. I'm connected to the AP called "Open Network Preferences", specifically named that to be confusing..:) The WiFi icon on the top menu bar will continue to 'flutter' when it isn't connected to any AP (so this is normal). When connected to a AP, it will have a number of bar indicating the signal strength. [ATTACH=FULL]27041[/ATTACH] if you are getting a green dot, it's likely not connecting all the way through. Click on System Preferences->Network and select WiFi if not already selected, on the right it should say something like "Wi-Fi is connected to <AP name> and has the IP address <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>". Tell us what that IP address is.. [/QUOTE]
