    My Mac won't connect to the wireless internet in the house. :(

    I turned airport on and off. No joy.
    Then I turned the router on and off. Again, no joy.

    My sister is connected fine to it and so is my phone.

    Any one got any ideas?!

    Also, I've checked to see if there is any airport updates but there isn't. I'm running 10.5.8.

    Have you tried restarting?

    This was working, yes? Have you changed any settings recently? Installed anything?

    Restarting the laptop? No.

    I don't recall changing anything. I installed a DVD ripper yesterday but it was working perfect after it until I turned the laptop on this evening.

    Is it definitely the internet that you can't connect to, and not just one browser?

    Have you tried connecting through iTunes or the App Store(If thats available in 10.5?)

    You haven't restarted? Then do so. It can fix a lot of problems.

    Yup, it's amazing what just restarting can fix.

    The cornerstone of all technical support! :D "Did you turn it off and on again?"
