Can somebody help me? I just moved into a guy's basement and he has wireless internet. I fired up my trusty MacBook and Safari and it instantly found the network (which is not password protected?) and that's the connection that I am typing from right now.

I also have an iMac that I am trying to connect. When I launch Safari it brings up "You are not connected to Internet." Then when I click on Network Diagnostics, I click on AirPort. It shows a couple close-by networks. When I click on the same one that my MacBook is connected to, it tells me that it cannot connect.

Why does my MacBook work but not my iMac???
