Q. Problem is I am temporarily staying with friends, I have a Dell and they have a MAC with a MAC wireless system. None of us can find a way to connect my laptop to their system and in fact I can not even read that there is a wireless network for them, but I can pick up others in the area (locked). Is there a solution?
Answer
The simplest way I have found to do this is to toss all the ISP-
and manufacturer-supplied CDs in an archive folder and
configure the router manually to "dial" into the ISP and act as a
DHCP server. As it is set up now, each machine only knows how
to connect directly. You want to create a common access point
for all internet connections in your location.
I would recommend connecting the modem to the router via the
uplink port and the Mac to the router via ethernet. Depending on
the OS version, use either Open Transport or the Finder's "Go"
menu "Connect to server..." command to access the embedded
software on the router. The default IP address and administrative
password should be included in the documentation for the
router. Once connected, this should present you with a web page
viewable with a web browser where you can set up the the router
to dial into the ISP connection with the account and password
info from the ISP, and to provide NAT as a DHCP server.
Once that is done, anything that connects to the router is
automatically connected to the internet as part of a WAN. At the
very least you will want to set up a WEP password. Additionally,
you might wish to change the default name of the router, the
administrative password, firewall settings, etc.
Alternatively, you can set up the Mac to act as the DHCP server.
That is what it is trying to do now, and failing. This can be as
simple as enabling internet sharing, or more elaborate. I find it
to be more flexible and less of a burden on any of the working
machines to off-load networking to another machine, yet it can
also make sense to be able to control and monitor activity from
a desktop PC
