Barry I use my 2400/silver orinoco with an ibook/airport card set up as a base station and it works reliably...my cable modem plugs into the ibook so it is stationary....just the orinoco in the 2400...I can go pretty much anywhere with it and have good reception...

What files do I need? > The previous post handled these questions...you only need the airport software, no orinoco software...it is automatically recognized as an airport card. > 4.

I could not get it to work with 8.6, so I upgraded to 9.1...but maybe others have had better luck > > > Positioning of Hardware > > 1.
