This has not much to do with G books in particular, but I'm kinda  
happy at the moment so I thought I'd share --

I purchased an Airport Extreme base station off ebay, and an Edimax  
PC card (802.11n) from OWC (for my Pismo). I just now set them up.

I didn't have too much trouble, except that the Airport Utility kept  
telling me that the IP address wasn't valid.

So I called Charter (the only cable service available here) to get  
advice. Of course, they put me on hold.

And while I was waiting on hold, the base station decided all by  
itself that the IP address was valid after all! It is now working  
perfectly.

So -- if you're trying to set one of these things up, don't give up  
if it fails at first. Just let it stew in its own juices for awhile  
-- this took roughly 5 or 10 minutes from the first error message to  
final connection.

And of course I have to ask -- why would it do this??
