network help for you wizzez

[hye]

ok hers a problem:

i set up a regular windows network with a stock lynksis router.

my laptop is windows it gets on it.


i turn on my mac laptop to get on the network, it finds the network, i type in password, it gives me this error:

"not able to sign in, laptop is not on network or server LIST, see admin"

something along those lines.

any ideas?

windows + mac = failure

It probably has nothing to do with it being a Mac.

Check the router settings to ensure that there is not a MAC Address (despite the name, MAC addresses are used in all network devices) filter on the router that only allows certain addresses to connect.

I imagine something like that is your problem.
