Setting Mac up on Wireless network
Hi, I am having a bit of a head ache with figuring out how to connect my mac to the office wifi. We have moved into a new building, and it was hardwired before, but that is not possible now. Everyone with a PC has just bought a wireless card for their's, do i need something similar for the Mac (Air port?)
Any advice at all appreciated, I am pretty clueless. |

I'd have thought it would have built in wifi kit. Just click on the wifi icon in the top right of the screen to set up.

 I opened the system profiler like http://www.maclife.com/article/howto...c_pro_wireless instructed, and in the airport section it has a load of stuff i can't make sense of! It says airport utility 5.5.3 (533.20) and IO80211 Family 3.2 (320.1) if that means anything to anyone? |
