Anne, I bought a Linksys WET11 ethernet bridge and have it plugged into my PPC 7600 (running 9.1) and it is working flawlessly with my Airport network (Tiger on G4 PowerBook and Panther on G3 iBook and G4 Tower). I can't remember what I paid but I think you can get it for less than $70. It's a bit tricky to set up and I had to do a little research. But basically the address of the bridge is 192.168.1.255 (other devices need to be in the same range, i.e. 192.168.0.x and you type it into your browser to use the utility to configure. You can find info at www.macoshints.com, www.hmug.org/HowTos/WET11.html and also at linksys.custhelp.com
