Hello, I am really computer challenged and recently purchased a used iMac with OSX 10.4 for my fiance w/ a wireless connection through Air Extreme. It's sad, but I haven't the slightest idea as to the first step towards getting online through my AT&T connection. I don't even know where the wireless connection goes on the computer. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

Is you AT&T connection wired to the phone via a modem? Is it a USB connection or Ethernet?
If ethernet, you will need to get a wireless router and insert it in the line between the computer and the modem.
If USB, you may have more problem.
What sort of computer do you have? Does it have a wireless card? Might be possible to connect through that, but I wouldn't know how...

Thanks for the reply. I have a wireless connection via phone line to modem. Ethernet connection. I went and bought a wireless router originally, but my old computer was too old, didn't have the capabilities to download disc that came with it (needed atleast windows 98 2nd edition). Now, my new computer is an Apple iMac G4, and the seller included a wireless connection through Air Extreme. It is small object, almost looks like a zip disk or something, with a plastic backing. I can see how it should slide right into a port, I'm just not sure which one. I don't know if I should download the copy of OSX 10.4 that was sent w/ computer and seller hasn't returned my emails. Maybe I should call the "Geek Squad" or something. It's sad, but I simply don't know the first step to take and I'm afraid of messing w/it and making it worse. Thanks
