hello. i am in dire need of help. i just recently purchased a powerbook with an airport card, and i would like to connect wirelessly to my apt's network. sorry for the deluge of info...it's my first mac, and i'm still trying to figure it out.

the router i have is a netgear mr814 which is connected to a pc. i think i have to enter a passphrase and/or ssid, but i have no idea where to put that info on the powerbook, or even if i have too....uuhh....yeah, i'm pretty clueless.

i've read about using something called the airport setup assistant, and i was wondering if that would indeed work? or if someone could reply with some instructions on how to connect to a network already setup, i'd be much appreciated.

thanks in advanced.
danyul.

Just open Internet Connect (in applications folder) and select the name of the LAN from the menu under the Airport settings. If you need a password, it will ask you for it. Be sure to check the box to add to keychain if prompted.
