I have on more thing to try, find the IP address of your PC, remember the IP, subnet and gateway it uses, then turn it off, go to the mac, go into system prefs and set those thing manually in TCP/IP see if that works, if so you need to use static IPs.
Got a tip for us?

Good thinking but I tried that and no luck.
I was just on the phone with applecare for the last hour and I tried a whole load of stuff. Basicly the guy told me that my router is sending a signal to my PB but it won't let me connect to the internet. My PB is then giving itself a self assigned IP address 169.xx.x.x.x. which means there is a problem.
Anyway, at least I know the problem is with my crappy router and not my precious PB
. I need a better router anyway cause the signal is too weak on this one, so I'll probably get a new one.Thanks a lot for your help anyway, I really appreciate it. I can't get over how helpful people are on these boards. It's awesome.
