Not sure if I didn't ask my original question properly, but I need to
know how to get the G4 to connect wirelessly to the LinkSys router.   If
it's connected via the Ethernet jack, then her laptop works.   

I'm assuming that the connection needs to remain set to Airport (run the
TCP/IP applet in Control Panel).   I've plugged the MAC address into the
router but now that I think about it, I may have input the MAC address
of the built-in Ethernet instead of the Airport card.

So my question: how do I find the MAC address of the Airport card itself
and not the Ethernet port?

Thanks in advance,
Roland Thomas

If you have a iBook the ethernet jack is on the left side (near to the
modem). If you have a G3/G4 Powerbook it is on the back (near the
modem).
