Apples don't support WEP... they only support crazy apple stuff like appletalk... and of course seeds

Call SBC  and have the trouble shoot it.  The  only thing I can think of is your firewall might be blocking it.

If you're connected to a wireless network with wep and you haven't done any sort of crazy hacking, it's working.  People without the keys, without doing any sort of hacking, won't be able to access the router/access point without your keys.

make sure your laptop have the same setting with the router\n1. the channel\n2. the wep key (the password you got probably)\n3. the ssid \n4. the router is not filtering out other machine by MAC address, otherwise you have to give neighbour your wireless MAC address to add in the router setting\n5. use release button and renew button on router config. page to assign address.\nIf your laptop detects signal, go to start run type "cmd" ok, then in the black window type "ipconfig /release" enter, then "ipconfig /renew" enter you should get connected.

My DSL required a router to be connected between the line and computer through a LAN port. There should be instructions and maybe even software to help you install.

Try to get in to your router page again. Just launch Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1. The username is <blank> and the password is "admin". If you're using a DSL connection, look for internet connection type and change it to PPPOE.  Type in the username and password provided by your ISP. If you don't know what it is contact your ISP.\n\nIf you're using a cable connection, under <Setup> click on the subcategory <MAC Address Clone>. Click on <Enable> and then click on clone your PC's MAC. Then click on <Save Settings>. \n\nIf these steps does not work, turn off your modem,unplug the router from the power and turn off the computer as well (the one directly connected to the router. After powering off everything, wait for 20 seconds and then turn on the modem first. Wait for the lights to go stable and then power up the router, wait for 15 seconds then turn on the computer. \n\nIf this still won't work try to call up linksys.

Things to check for:\n1. Is the wireless access point connected to your router (unless the access point and the router are in the same unit)?\n2. Do both computers have valid IP addresses (and valid network masks and gateway addresses)?  These must either be set by hand, or else you set the computers for DHCP (but that only works if either the router or your ISP is providing the DHCP service -- to make the router offer DHCP service you would have to turn on "NAT" in the router).\n3. Can each computer ping the other?

yes, routers work independent of the operating systems of the computer.  As long as you have a wireless card in your mac you will be able to attached to the network.

The Mac needs to be talking IP not appletalk. Here is a link for configuring TCP/IP on a MAC. \nOnce you get them talking you will be able to create a share on the MAC to use the printer, If the printer is directly attached to the PC, then you will need to create a share. The second link is how to select a printer via MAC OS for TCP/IP. TX\n\nhttp://kb.iu.edu/data/berl.html\n\nhttp://kb.iu.edu/data/aebb.html

First off we need to know what kind of router you are working with.  Please provide the model and make, along with the kind of internet service you have.  Also what operating system you are on would be helpful - Windows XP, Mac OS X, etc.  \n\nThe first thing do when you hook up a router to your DSL/Cable Modem is to turn all the equipment off.\n\nPower down the computer, the DSL/Cable Modem and your router.  Its best to physically remove the power cables from the modem and the router to ensure that electricity is not keeping any memory chips alive.  Make sure you plug the ethernet cable from the DSL/Cable modem into the routers WAN/internet port.  Then make sure your computer's ethernet port is plugged into one of the routers LAN ethernet ports, they are usually 4 ports right in a row on the back of the computer.  This should fix any problems with hooking up the cables physically, and now it up to your network settings on your computer.  In order to help, please provide the information I asked for at the top of this message. \n\nThanks!

down in the lower right corner, when it says you can not connect, click it and it should bring up a list of options, hit repair, if the options dont appear, right click on the icon at the taskbar near the clock, and hit repair, let it do its stuff for a few minutes, then try again when it says its done, even if it said it failed, it should work, if not, look for the manual for the laptop to see how to reinstall the drivers for the wireless card/chip. i had the same problem with my toshiba, but i took the WEP off the router so it runs without problems.

well the first thing that u need to do is check ur NIC, u can do that by opening MS-DOS, and typing " ping 127.0.0.1" if it gives u 4 replies ur NIC is good, if not then u need to change that, after that u need to check ur drivers, to make sure that they are up to date, so u have to go in device manager, then look for ur wireless nick, go to the manufacteres web site,then u gonna need to check for updates on the drivers, after making sure that everything is up to date, u need to make sure that the network that u are trying to connect is not to restrict MAC adreeses, if that is the case u need to disable it, then u need to make sure that if is using WAP or WEP encryption, that u have the key, then try and connect again, if these doesnt work, the router is prob no letting u connect to the network, so u gonna have to reset the router and then set it up again, with the correct configuration,, good luck

We were having the same problem at work with our Verizon Wireless PC cards! The only way that I could get our internet/LAN to continue working was to install ONLY the driver for the wireless card...not the software pack. I had Verizon Wireless send me the individual file for the cards drivers. After I received the driver I set it up just like a modem (since that is all it is). I no longer have the pretty Verizon menu showing the connection and strength but heck it worked!

I don't know where you can get it, but WEP has been cracked. It just isn't secure. Maybe you'd rather look into some more secure algorithm, like WPA?

Here are a few things of interest:\n\n* On your access point, you should enable "Hide SSID" to prevent unwanted computers from detecting your access point. \n\n* You should also enable "MAC filtering" to limit access to specific computers only.\n\n* Do not use WEP security. It has been hacked to death. Use WPA-Personal.

Does your router have an active internet connection. If you unpluged the cat 5 cable from your laptop and then connected it to the cable or dsl router you will need to reset the modem to reset the MAC address or you will not get on line.  After that I would check your security setting on both router and laptop and make sure they both match.
