That seems to be where I'm having problems, I can't seem to get it to turn on, I'll give it another try though.

If you haven't a wireless network, then you won't be able to accomplish much. As long as you can turn it on, you'll be fine. Turn it on for grins and see if any of your neighbors are running open routers. You may not be able to detect them depending where your machine is located so this might prove to be a pointless activity. Either way, you should have no difficulty at all connecting your mac to any wireless available should you ever need to do so.

I just checkedthe menu, it has 2 choices, one says airport is not configured, and that option is dimed, the other is to open the network preferences.

You should only have to turn on the AirPort from the menu where the clock and so forth is located. It'll look for wireless networks to join. You shouldn't have to add the service.

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if someone can tell me what I am missinghere. I don't have a wireless network here at home, but was playing with the network configuration to try to figure out how to enable the airport feature, since their may come a time when I take my mac mini to a place that uses wireless networking. I realize I don't have a network to connect to, but I could not even get the airport feature to enable. In network preferences, I chose to add a service, and selected airport. An option became available to turn on airport, so I selected that but it had no effect. Do I actually need to use the assistant and enter the name of a wireless network before airport will enable? Also, do I need to use the airport utility application, or is all of this done in network preferences?
