I've upgraded to AirPort Utility (the flashy new version of AirPort Admin Utility) and WPA is supported from my ancient APEx w/modem (as stated above, I use 1 Mbps hi-speed now) to my Pismo. Worked with all my local PCs, too. Haven't tried it on the ol' iBook Tangerine, but that'll have to wait until I can get it its own AP (I've used the one that came with my Pismo in all three of our AP-compatible Macs, including an iMac G4 800). As to the comp to comp, just go into System Preferences, go to Sharing, then click Internet Sharing. Tell it that you want to send your Ethernet connection out through your AirPort, and fire the thing up. Just don't use WPA when it asks you what kind of encryption you want.
