I'm sorry, I know that I didn't give much, and I do understand that I need to actually connect it. Unfortunately, the info I gave you is all I can give you. This iMac barely has any software and has 4 accounts that each have a password. The only one I can get in is the 'student' account, because of its guessable password, 'student.' Needless to say, my access is very limited. It simply won't let me open any sort of control panel, menu, or preferences. That is why I need an OS so that I can override those passwords. From reading your posts, I gather that that is the only way to connect to the web, and I can't without administrative access. So I think I'll just have to wait until I get an OS to make any sort of attempt to connect to the internet.

But thanks anyway,
