I just got a Tibook and I want to be able to connect to the internet at my girl friend's house. They have Road Runner and are using a Linkseys router to network their PC's. I tried just connecting an ethernet cable to the router, I couldn't get on the interent. I did see that their router was giving me an IP address, yet I couldn't browse the internet. I know there is nothing wrong with my Tibook cause I connect with Road Runner at my apartment. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting I have to enable, or is there more work involved? Please help, this is my first Mac and I find myself not know of what to do...
Got a tip for us?

Try rebooting your TiBook with the ethernet cable pugged in.
If that doesn't do it, they could be running PPPoE. but if it's a cable modem, this seems unlikely (and you most likely wouldn't get an IP addy).
Just try rebooting with the cable plugged in.
And / or try rebooting the linsys router.
