Hey, Laurie!
Having just gone through an Airport installation starting with v1.2, which
would not talk to our DSL line because it uses PPPoE, I was ecstatic when
1.3 came out and fixed the problem. I've got wireless DSL working on my
iBook, using Entourage with no problem at all. Don't have a cube. But it
even works with a Windows PC using an Orinoco wireless card.
I don't think there is any conflict with Airport and E'rage that I can see.
It runs smooth as silk. But I do not have file sharing turned on. I only
turn it on when I need to transfer files between my iBook and my iMac, which
isn't wired into the Airport. I have a router but haven't hooked it up yet.
When I need to transfer files I use a crossover cable with file sharing on.
So, I can't say what your problem is, but I think it isn't Entourage. Sorry
I can't be more positive help.
