macbook pro wifi issues

[SidewinderINC]

Hi all,

ive got one of the new Macbooks and had no trouble since i got it a month ago until a few days ago and i cannot connect to any wifi signal - it just says "there was an error joining the airport network "insert network here""

i know nothing has changed in the router, and everything else is correct so does anyone have any ideas as to how i can troubleshoot this?

Cheers

Matt

the $ worked until i rebooted and then it stopped working so i assumed it wasnt password based... so i went into the router and deleted all of the stored mac adresses and then added added just the macbook and my PC and it works fine now.

seems the router doesnt like >10 mac addresses being allowed access.

thanks for the help

why does the $ make a difference?
