Hi
I just bought my mate a brand new 20" imac. I set it up for him at my office, internet (wireless). loaded leopard, installed update ran it for 3 days, checking internet, mail, everything. Packed it up and shipped it to him. (he's in spain, and been using a PC).

It arrives and he cant get the internet to work. He has a wireless network, no security. Ive was there 3 weeks ago and my laptop (MBP Leopard) just connected fine. He can connect to the network but no internet. Ive gone through some basic things to check. ie network status- automatic -connected.
checked via assist me -
network status with green lights for everything except internet and server (red). continuing draws a blank because he gets asked for a password (which he doesnt need) BTW the windows machine connect to the internet the same way no probs.

Any ideas why this is?

ta in advance
