Re: Public Wi-Fi Access

[Henry Olders]

I use airport on a firewire G3 PB, OS 10.2.8; to enter a WEP key in 
internet connect, I have to prefix it with a $ character, according the 
manual that came with my wireless Asante router. I don't know if that 
would apply also to OS 9.

Yesterday I was in a coffee shop that had free wireless LAN access and

I checked my TCP/IP control panel, AppleTalk, and everything else I 
could
think of but no dice.

The LAN used a WEP key, which seemed to be accepted okay (I had no 
signal
strength before entering the WEP key). Using Mac OS 9.1 on a PowerBook
1400.

Any advice appreciated!

By the way, I am able to use the Orinoco setup fine at other locations
but have not used it with a WEP key before.
