*spla*

I haven't had any luck setting up the wireless internet in my house. I have theAirport Extreme base station, and I had installed a card in my iBook. But every time I tried to set things up, I ended up with the blinking amber light on the base station and no internet connection. But all indications were that the iBook would soon be toast, and may therefore not have been behaving. So last night, I decided to install an Airport Extreme card in the iMac, and see what I could do. I had already added memory to the thing, so I knew how to install things. Set it face down on a towel. Pop the back. Touch metal. Install card. Reattach back.

I did all that. Then I plugged the power cord back in, pressed the Power button...and nothing. No sound. Not a flicker.

Comcast and Leopard

Has anyone out there configured a Mac w/ Leopard to work with Comcast hi-speed internet? My iMac, which I configured when it was running Tiger, is working just fine even though I upgraded to Leopard. I used the instruction page on the Comcast site, and was online in less than a minute.

My new MacBook screenshots don't look like that. Even when I enter the router and other values manually, I can't connect. I'm sure there is a simple solution, but I'm not sure what it is. If I can solve it, it may also take care of inability to set up my wireless connection.
