Thanks. I think it's an ASCII password (plain ole English alphanumeric text). But adding a $ before the password turned on the Airport card so that it sees the network and gets a signal strength. Turning off the Airport card and turning it on again elicits lots of blinking lights on my WAP, router and hub.
Unfortunately, now that Airport is active, I can't get on the Internet and I can't access my mail. I can do both when the ethernet cable is hooked up and active. Now what? -- Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Wiseman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "G-Books" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 7:46 PM Subject: Re: Using iBook Airport With Wi-Fi Network > Is it a ASCII password or HEX key?
