MAK/ MAC address??? No internet despite wireless connection

[macadi]

Dear All,

I had heard about this problem earlier, but am facing it today. Hope you guys can help.

I am using Macbook Pro and using Airport to connect to the internet.
The problem is that, despite the Airport connecting to the wireless network, i am unable to get connected to the internet.
I spoke to someone, and he said, that it is a problem with the Mak/ Mac address!!! and it has to be added somewhere??!!!

Please can you help, i do not know what to do at all!!

In anticipation,

Regards,
Macadi

If the wireless network you're connecting to only accepts certain MAC addresses, yes, then your MBP's MAC address for it's Airport needs to be entered by administrator.
