I have an external DSL modem, and it reportedly has a two wire connection
or an ether net connection. When the Mac was first switched on it never
did connect, so it must take more than just having them in the house. I
am ignorant completely when it comes to hardware, so it is difficult for
me to understand the difference between a two wire connection and an
ether net connection. Since I already have the external DSL modem was it
unnecessary for the wireless router to be installed? The Mac works now
via airport, whereas before the wireless router was installed, it did not
work at all as faras making an internet connection. Please clear up my
ignorance, if possible.

Hi Harry,
You said: When I purchased the Mac Book pro, I wish the salesman
would have told me that I needed to have a wireless router installed
in my household in order for the Mac to work properly.
Not true. the Mac can work with either wireless or ethernet
connections. If you have either DSL or a Cable modem, the Mac will
access the Internet right away. The best way to configure a wwireless
router is using ethernet as well. In that case the configuration
should be quite easy. Simply connect to the IP address of the router
and go from there. If you have a Dial-Up connection, that's a
different story.
Later...
