Yvonne, in defence of Optus, i must repeat, they DO NOT SUPPORT this on MAC yet, so you shouldn't EXPECT it to work. However,short of having a look at the MAC, i am not sure i can be of much help, this is a proven way to get it going. If other have an explanation - please share it, however I had no problems. Perhaps remove the device from your Network preferences, and start over, take it slow, it can be something simple.

Please verify your settings and try again" Yvonne LEWINGTON, Neutral Bay - Sydney Added: Friday , 18 Jan 2008 07:19 am Hi Rick, Trevor Long, Pyrmont Added: Thursday , 17 Jan 2008 05:33 pm Hi Trevor, Rick Pearce, Sydney add your comment: |
