So I got myself a laptop today, but I can't seem to hook it up to the wi-fi. I have two other computers hooked up to the wi-fi, and one stationary that's physically connected to it with an ethernet cable.

I think I recall that we had similar problems when we got the two computers that aren't connected by wi-fi, but then my cousin who is now in England or something fixed it. I slightly recall him using the stationary to "accept" the computers that wanted to connect to the wireless network. Can this be right or what? The network is also secured by a WAP password, but this I know.

The new laptop is a macbook btw, if that matters.

I'm sorry if I'm missing out on something extremely basic here, but I'm a noob at this field. :-\

Sounds like your network requires the machines connecting to it to be defined on the router. You need to access your router via the stationary machine and configure it to accept the macbook.

Do you know the brand of router?

It's an DLink Airplus G+ Wireless Router.  :)
