Hello, thanks for that help, i have not reset my modem yet because i did not htink that could be the problem (i tried the modem with my other laptop in the past and that worked fine) it is now set to hdcp in the window so I am not sure if thats alright because i thought htis was used for routers. I will start up my mac again in a few moments and see if it works. Greetings, Anouk, ----- Original Message ----- From: Jonathan C.

There is a network setup dialog which I (though I am an Internet engineer) found very easy to use. Generally if you are connecting directly to a DSL modem then you just need to enable PPPOE. If you are connecting to a cable modem, then the problem is probably that your modem is locked on your old computer's ethernet card. Take the power off and then on for modem and see if that solves the problem. You can reach me at oncohnfairfax on skype for more help.

Everything works fine although i get lost in a few dialogs. I cant connect to the internet htough. I use a cable modem and udner windows i can just push in the network cable and I am ready to go. Not so now htough. Any idea of what routers work best with the mac? I was thinking of getting a linksis pre-n router, will that work? If i just configure the touter right and it works on the pc should i also just be able to plug it into the mac for it to work?
