It got a strong signal from the wifi network but there was no "connect" prompt. I saw nothing in airport preferences that seemed to apply.
What do I have to do to configure the machine to connect to a wifi network? Rich - - - - - I travel a lot and can tell you not all airports offer wireless internet. More and more do, but usually not free and it's mostly offered by a 3rd party vendor as a pay service. Usually when you pick up a wireless signal that you can join, just use your browser and try to go to any webpage, such as google, and you should get directed to the service's web page with a user agreement and payment instructions (if it's not free). I've seen wireless computer-to-computer networks in airports and their signal will show up but you won't be able to join. Internet connect gives you basic information but for years I have been using a nice little app called Macstumbler which lists all available wireless networks and tells you whether they are WEP-encrypted or not and better signal strength information.
