Fact: Mac's are NOT easier to use.

So my girlfriend has this MacBook... One of the white Core2Duo ones. She claims it's easier to use, but neither of us can ever figure out how to do the mot seemingly simple of shit.

Ok, well my problem now is that I'm far away from home using this WebSTAR Scientific Atlanta non-wifi cable modem and all I've got with me is her CrapBook and my Blackberry which I'm posting this on. Her work notebook running Vista (which she has with her at the moment) self configures and is totally plug-and-play with the cable modem...

The Crapintosh says 'Connected' under Network properties, and shows an IP address using DHCP. But it still won't let me get online.

Can any Mac expert lend some sort of solution? I'm stumped.
