There wouldn't be anyone on here who might be able to help me get onto the internet on the MAC powerbook I bought on e-bay by any chance? It was supposed to make life a little easier with everyone in our house wanting to use the internet at the same time, but I have absolutely no idea how to use it. :confused:
We have a wireless modem for the PC.

This is the powerbook:

That should work as long as you have another computer, even non-macs. And you don't need that router either, I used a non-apple one for my mac.

Nope, sadly not. I bought the modem, read through the articles and contacted the guy who sold me the powerbook and even though he was wonderful and tried very hard to get me online ( he sent diagrams and screenshots) I have still not managed to get it going. :( I'm probably just being really stupid.
