Ok, Still have issues with airport and 802.11 on some open networks.
It's likely a combo of broken Apple stuff, and a version of Windows
server stuff, but I'm tired of being punished by this.
My PDA can get online everywhere, my powerbook 1400 can get online
everywhere, my nice AlBook cannot. Tested this repeatedly at the
problem locations.
If I get a USB 802.11 adapter, will I bypass some of the airport
stuff and just connect?
I have my little wireless D-Link DWL-G730AP that I can hook up to the
ethernet jack, and THAT works. But it's a little more of a pain to
config when going from place to place. But If I have to haul that
huge, matchbook-sized dongle with me :) I can do it.
Suggestions welcome re: hardware. I really feel done re: help
troubleshooting networking, please :) It's real, and it's not
something I can change, it's certain versions of server-side stuff
that breaks the Apple side (or the Apple side isn't compliant too, I
don't know)- but when XP, 9.1, PalmOS 5.0.3, and a Newton Messagepad
can be configured to connect to an open network, and my 10.4 machine
cannot, it's not my skills at wireless configs that is the issue...
Thanks,
Brian
