Hi everybody. I'm new to Macrumors forums. I would appreciate some assistance with some issues I have been having with my MacBook.
I purchased my MacBook 7,1, (Mac OS X 10.6.5) last August. I have had few issues with wireless connectivity in the past, but since moving to a new flat in January I have had no end of problems.
I am using a Thomson TG585 router to connect to my wireless network. This is an 802.11b/g wireless LAN access point with integrated ADSL2+ modem. I have been experiencing problems with my MacBook failing to connect to the wireless network via AirPort. My girlfriend's notebook (a MSI Wind U100 with Windows XP Home) has never had any issues connecting to the same network.
I have also noticed that when I run the AirPort Utility, it cannot find any AirPort wireless devices, even when my router is connected to the MacBook via the ethernet cable. I have attached a screenshot which shows that the AirPort connection is successful but the device cannot be found.
I also include the following details for your information:

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. I cannot connect my printer via wireless network either as it doesn't believe that my MacBook is connected to the network. I really have no idea what to try and am confused by the whole situation.
