| 580808 | 2007-08-14 08:02:00 | I have a wireless router. Obviously broadband. I usually connect my PC desktop and laptop to it. Tonight I decided to connect my work iBook (reason? my PC laptop power supply is dodgy - loose wire). I thought it would be easy. But no. Could the techie at work have set up things to make it difficult? | Rossini (12327) | ||
| 580809 | 2007-08-14 08:15:00 | You'll have to find out where the you enter the ip addresses etc in on the Ibook. Do you know where this is?? You'll most probably have to point it to the router or something. I dont know. I dont use BB or a router. Or it could be depending on how far the Ibook is from the router, it needs adding to the router, or you need an access point. |

| 580810 | 2007-08-14 08:17:00 | Yes, I have a wireless router (broadband) which connects my PC Desktop and laptop. Both connect via this to the Internet. I do not have a network. I have not used my work iBook on here before. | Rossini (12327) | ||
