Just for the heck of it I just tried the $ in the password before I head off to work - no luck there. I do think it is WEP vs WPA/WPA2 issue and will try Leopard install tonight with original video card while I do my other research on the pin issue. That should take hours and at least give me WPA/WPA2 options. I will try a USB wireless G/N adapter after I install my USB2 card tonight (after the Leopard install). Do I need the speed of USB2 for those kind of wireless connections? Thanks everyone to all for your comments so far. -- Marty p.s.
