Also via the terminal if the PB is running OS X (I don�t remember if that was in the original email or not). The output of an 'ifconfig -a' should tell you the MAC of the en1 interface (which is the Airport card). > Also note that if you are using hexadecimal keys on the Linksys for WEP, > you need to prepend a $ when the Apple asks for the password. > > Hex WEP: 1234567890 > Apple equiv: $1234567890 Also true, but only in OS 9 or OS X.0/.1. In OS X.2, Apple changed the password dialogue to allow you to select whether you have a passphrase, 64-bit or 128-bit ASCII or HEX key. Bottom line here is that the Internet Connect application or the Network/Airport Control Panel should provide an easy way to configure the card. In OS 9, the Airport application should be under the Apple Menu, and in OS X you can get to it through the System Preferences:Network control panel. I can probably provide a walk-through if I know the OS being used on the PB. - AB -- Aaron Stanley, CISSP Information Security Consultant Computer Horizons Corporation ** Company name provided for identification ** purposes only.
