Hi Daniel,
If you still have the bluetooth hanging around - how much would it cost to have installed ?
I had put it off, as I believe it is quite pricey. Cheers Jewels On 13/10/2009, at 7:56 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote:
Ar yes, the MacPro was a build to order Airport and Bluetooth adapters for those models. It wasn't until later it was added as "standard". (Though even the current MacPro has Bluetooth as standard but Build To Order Airport asadditional.I think I have a Bluetooth and Airport module for that particular modelkicking around somewhere if you decide you want to add those in.If you do decide later down the track drop me an email and I can check whatthey are and let you know. That's the same model MacPro1,1 I have and it's got the BT and Airport already, and they come in handy to check things every now and again.

It is disappointing I don't have Airport and Bluetooth, but guess I should have waited a while longer when the later Pros came out on the market, as I believe the following models had it included. Thanks anyway for your suggestion.

On the first page that opens under Hardware Overview, it will say Model Identifier: iMacx,x (with the x being numbers). Shouldn't affect this problem, but good to know just incase you wanted to use Airport on it as well.

The odd thing is though, all of last week I could not connect to the internet via the Mac Book, then on Saturday I had no problem andwas on immediately. It seems to be one of those nasty intermittent problems. I do not ever have a problem connecting on the Intel Macthough, which incidentally does not have a wireless card. I'll report the outcome. Thanks again for the assistance.

Connecting by Wireless on your MacBook Pro is not connecting? So something is not set up properly in your Wireless Network. Either in Airport Utility or in System Preferences > Network. A couple of things you could check:1. If The Belkin Router is a Wireless Router ... Turn OFF Wireless on it, as The Airport Extreme will handle the wireless connection& hand out DHCP addresses. 1. Check that the Ethernet cable you have running from yourRouter's LAN port is correctly connected to the Airport Extreme'sWAN Port. 2. Check in Airport Utility that your settings are correct 3. Check in System Preferences > Network > Airport - Advanced under TCP/IP that you have "Using DHCP"Some time back I was asked by an Apple Consulting Group, to writea fairly basic article to help people with Network problems.

I have tried resetting the airport on many occasions. The airport always shows green, so this is possibly not the fault. I thought perhaps my Belkin router is not the best to use. By the way, Ronda I think you do a wonderful job on the WAMUGlist and your knowledge on Macs is immense - but don't you everrest!!
