Question: Is there a newbie-friendly website that provides very good
online advice on using Macs, especially regarding security and
networking wireless and hard line?
Story behind the question: A friend in a different city bought a Macbook
Pro recently and has moved to an apartment where the internet line is
shared with other users. The others are windows users and they gave her
the password to their network but she still couldn't get it to connect
and they said they didn't know how to set up a Mac . . . so she's
stuck. I told her that the network security should work essentially the
same and that probably it's an issue of making sure the encryption type
is correct for the wireless and that automatic IP detection was set for
the hard line. I couldn't think of other reasons why she wouldn't be
able to get online though I'm not able to tell her over the phone how to
check these steps because I too am unfamiliar with Macs. And though I
can usually figure stuff out if I have the machine in front of me, this
is long distance. So I thought I'd find something online that's
reliable that we could both check to assist with trouble-shooting. I
appreciate any advice or suggestions people might have for where to
look. Book suggestions also welcome. Thanks!
