I got connected to the base station and can ping my LAN but I can't ping anything on the Internet yet. The /etc/resolv.conf file has the proper DNS addresses and with eth0 active I can connect to the Internet. Route is properly configured but the DNS resolving is not working nor pinging an Internet IP address directly. What I have been doing has been entering in the wrong information at the wrong places. With all the help everyone and the suggestions along the way, I have been understanding wireless much more than when I had started. Using the base station utility and retrieving the hex password helped out tremendously and entering it as the key which I have been entering the wrong on into the airport card and that is where the whole mess came up. I did not understand that entering the information using iwconfig actually changes the stored information on the card. Thank you so much everyone for your help with this. -Adam
