I'm curious about an Intel Mac which does not have a wireless card. I
would have thought that all Intel Mac models have wireless cards.

Hi Ronni,
Many thanks for the information, I have printed off the help
instructions from you and will go through them systematically later.
The odd thing is though, all of last week I could not connect to the
internet via the Mac Book, then on Saturday I had no problem and
was on immediately. It seems to be one of those nasty intermittent
problems. I do not ever have a problem connecting on the Intel Mac
though, which incidentally does not have a wireless card.
I'll report the outcome. Thanks again for the assistance.
Cheers

Hi Jewels,
You are not having any trouble connecting to the Internet from your
"Intel Mac" (that does not have a wireless card) by Ethernet?
If that is the case, you have your Router setup correctly with your
ISP's settings.
Connecting by Wireless on your MacBook Pro is not connecting? So
something is not set up properly in your Wireless Network.
Either in Airport Utility or in System Preferences > Network.
A couple of things you could check:
1. If The Belkin Router is a Wireless Router ... Turn OFF Wireless
on it, as The Airport Extreme will handle the wireless connection &
hand out DHCP addresses.
1. Check that the Ethernet cable you have running from your
Router's LAN port is correctly connected to the Airport Extreme's
WAN Port.
2. Check in Airport Utility that your settings are correct
3. Check in System Preferences > Network > Airport - Advanced under
TCP/IP that you have "Using DHCP"
Some time back I was asked by an Apple Consulting Group, to write a
fairly basic article to help people with Network problems.
I wrote an eBook titled ... "What To Do If You Lose Your Broadband
Internet Connection" ...
You might find it useful to diagnose your problem. If you wish, I
don't mind you downloading it for 'Free' from my Website (I've
turned the Password off).

Open the PDF in Preview Application. The PDF can be opened in Adobe
Reader or Adobe Acrobat, but hyperlinks to Mac Help content will
NOT open in the Adobe products:
Double clicking the PDF in Finder will open it in the default
application set to open PDF’s.
For most Mac Users, this will be Preview and nothing more needs to
be done.
Hyperlinks to Mac Help content will NOT work unless you have
previously opened the Help for the application referenced by the
Hyperlink.
This is due to a security feature in Help Viewer:

Are you using Airport Extreme or Airport Express?
What Operating System are you using ... OS X 10.4.11, 10.5.8 or

Hi,
I recently bought a note book and connected up to the internet,
using my Intel Mac as the prime user and with airport attached
to the router. The intel is non-wireless.
I was initially successful for the first week, but now more
often than not, when I try to connect to the internet with the
notebook, it says that I am not connected. I have tried
resetting the airport on many occasions. The airport always
shows green, so this is possibly not the fault. I thought
perhaps my Belkin router is not the best to use.
By the way, Ronda I think you do a wonderful job on the WAMUG
list and your knowledge on Macs is immense - but don't you ever
rest!!
