Hey everyone!

I'm new to the forums so a big hello to you all! :)

I got my first mac today (20" iMac C2D) and its awesome! One problem though! I can't connect to the internet! I installed the BT voyager 105 driver but when I go into the Network options/network port configurations and try to make the modem active I can't, as the tick box is grayed out. There are other options like bluetooth and airport which I can tick or untick. Why can't I make my modem active?
Also the DSL light on the Voyager 105 modem isn't coming on either! It comes on when I plug the modem into my windows laptop so its not the line!

Is something blocking my iMac from syncing? I've no idea! :(

Really hope someone on here can help me!! If you want me to be more specific with the problems then just ask! :)

Regards

John :)

The mac drivers for the 105 are rubbish, i tryed them on my ppc mini and it kept causing it to drop out all the time.

Also i didn't dare try them on my macbook least not under mac osx.

Can probably pickup a ethernet Adsl modem pretty cheap, would be better than trying to get the 105 working.
