What computer do you have? Can the "Network" prefs see your WiFi?

its a macmini
Yes can see my phone MorphOS asks for the password turns a hmm lamp on next to the phone connection
it red and black but doesn't connect.

just look in the expert drop down menu
the hardware address is just 0's

where as the eth0 has a real mac address

My ISP is bad, but I am glad that I at least have some kind of Internet service, instead of relying on my cell phone for sharing the Internet. I'll stop complaining about my ISP now, knowing that your situation is (probably) much worse, specially having to depend on a Windows based cell phone.

Good luck!

its not that bad maybe it's a windows phone nokia1020 bought for the camera
I have a internal network(1giga lan) server/workstation laptop there all workgrouped
but connect to the internet separately though Wi-Fi
but I have no complaints with the three network pay as you go 25.00 a month unlimited internet
I stream films downloaded what I want at high speeds not had a problem in years with it

Which Windows version are you running? I've used to use some shitty old Lumia with 8.1 and it mostly worked. For some reason the phone had to be close to the PowerBook and it took a few seconds for the internet to kick in. One trick that used to help: start Explorer and do some webbrowsing on the phone while the mini is connecting. Dunno why but it always helped me.

Is the Wi-Fi adaptor supposed to read 00:00:00:00:00ect on the mac address

on the wired connection reads like a real mac address...

Not really, that might mean your actual wifi chip isn't supported.

yeah that what I was beginning to think

is there anyway I can get the info on the Wi-Fi in open firmware to check what it is?

thanks for the reply
