hi,
i'm just at a friends place for a few weeks and am trying to get onto the internet using airport on his brand new imac (which is sooooo sweet!!).
now, i'm no mac wizard so here's a rundown...
he has the internet through a modem directly to his imac
i activated airport on his imac
i then activated the wireless networks on my laptop which is running winXP pro SP3
my laptop finds his imac and i can even connect (after aquireing the network address)
all good so far??
but when i try and use firefox to get on the net, i can't
what am i doing wrong?
on my laptop it says the type of connecting is a 'unsecured computer to computer network' and that SHOULD give me internet, no??
please be gentle and any help is appreciated
