wanadoo wireless and mac OSX

[emk559]

Hi there
i know this question has been aske many times b4, but i cant seem to understand what to do in my case. I have Mac OSX and have just moved in with someone who has installed the wanadoo wirless broadband on their PC laptop. i have been trying to install the ethernet cable onto mine but cant work the CD - is it only compatible on a PC? Also spoke to someone on the helpline who said that the wanadoo ethernet wasnt supported on the Mac, and i would have to install the wireless on mine and the ethernet on hers....she needs wireless though too. i know there is an adaptor one can buy.. any suggestions? i am quite thick when it comes to these things... and any tips on making the CD work on the mac?
cheers
emily

I found this entry on the net:

To get rid of the 'List access' barrier you must enable WEP security in the configuration box via the computer that has acces, then the computer that has not got access must enter the WEP key from the bottom of the Livebox. After that computer gets on successfully use the other computer to turn the security off again. And that should allow the new computer to be recogised from then on.

You must have an airport Extreme or equivalent wireless card. Click on the blue apple in the top left hand corner. When the window pops up, click on "More Info". This will launch /Applications/Utilties/System Profiler. In System Profiler click on the word 'Airport'. This then will list your Airport card info.
