Check the router settings. It's possible there was a change at some time but the change didn't take effect until it was restarted. I forget the specifics but one of the encryption types (AES, TKIP, something else ????) doesn't work with the Airport software. I'm not at all certain about this however. If that doesn't solve it try taking the encryption down to test the connection. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
