Q. How do I find my MAC address?

A. If you are using an external devise such as a PCMCIA card or a USB adaptor, the MAC number should be printed on the device. If your wi-fi is built into your computer you can find the MAC address as follows: Click on 'START' then 'RUN'. Type CMD in the box and click 'OK'. A DOS command window will open and you should type: IPCONFIG /ALL. look for the 'physical address of the wireless network.

Q. I can see a good signal from wifi margarita but I can't connect to the internet.

Q. I can receive mail but I can't send any.
