| 580797 | 2007-08-14 07:01:00 | Hello everyone, I'd appreciate some help. I have an iBook which I use at work. It connects to the work network via cable or wireless. At home I also have wireless and want to be able to connect to my own ISP. How do I do this? I've made attempts but none of them have worked. Thanks for your time. |

| 580798 | 2007-08-14 07:06:00 | have you checked for sharing with wireless devices in your system prefs? I use an Apple airport for my Mac at home. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

| 580800 | 2007-08-14 07:17:00 | Same as me. What have you tried so far? have you cone through systems prefs> internet sharing? Since Im using an airport I just put the installer CD in and went from there. |

| 580801 | 2007-08-14 07:22:00 | Ok so it's not talking to my wireless router automatically - I haven't had any messages about wireless in range etc | Rossini (12327) | ||
| 580802 | 2007-08-14 07:23:00 | I'll do a bit of investigating in preferences. | Rossini (12327) | ||
| 580803 | 2007-08-14 07:34:00 | You may need to enable internet sharing. Normally Bonjour should take care of that if you need to find your wireless connection. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 580804 | 2007-08-14 07:34:00 | First I tried clicking on the wireless symbol - top right. no luck. Internet sharing is off because ' you have not selected a port'. I am a PC user and apple is like being on the moon! |

| 580805 | 2007-08-14 07:47:00 | When you said you had an iBook I just assumed you were a Mac user. In your system prefs click on Network >Location should be automatic and then select show network status | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 580806 | 2007-08-14 07:53:00 | Have you got an access point / router at home?? I take it, you've got a wireless network at home not wireless internet? Are you on broadband / dialup Rossini? |
