OT-Apple Mac help

[Mike S]

I know some of you know a lot more about computers than I could put it in a hat. I spent the weekend with my lady friend who uses an Apple Mac computer. She has wireless Linksys setup sorta like mine. So I tried to hook up to it. My laptop computer found her system but could not link to it because it wanted a WEP password or some such. Anyway, she had no idea even tho she set the system up when she bought it and the parts. I can go into my system and find my set up and gave her the WEP when she was here, but cannot find such info on her Apple. I spent two hours dinking around with it, but no luck. Any clues to where I should look on her computer to find the info to put on my PC? It won't be the end of the world if I can't go on line while I am there, but it would be nice to have since she likes to sleep late and I like to get up around 5 or 6ish in the AM and have to be quiet. And her cat ain't all that sociable like my dog.

You will need to use a browser and go into her router (Linksys) to find that information out.

You will need the password for the router.

Hey, Mike! As already stated, you'll need to log on to the Linksys to get the WEP. If she's using a new Mac with OS-X, there's an icon in the dock that looks like a lightswitch plate with the apple logo. That's the system preferences (Or, look in the finder under applications). Everything you need should be in there.
