Subject: Re: Wireless on old powerbooks Craig and Andrew many thanks. (The over vigilant anti-spam programme wiped Andrew's message before I read it , so Andrew could you possibly send again please!)
Found some absolutely invaluable help on the web too. And its probably Andrew's? (AlkSoft Installing Airport on unsupported Powerbooks) Worked a treat on the 5300. So now the 5300 can reach the Base station wirelessly and hopefully in a two way conversation= am now going to try it all out and will keep you posted Still have the problem of wireless on the 7600 as an ethernet is the current connection - and am going to attempt to hack airport onto it but thats a bit off-subject for a powerbook forum. Although the upgraded 540CPower Pc lets you use "Wish I were" to change its value it still then doesnt load 8.5 or 8.6 sending the same error message regarding inability to instal on this model though I'm su8re I've used "Wish I were" before successfully. Still its got 8.1 for now till I sort it out. Craig, thanks for the data and the offer of help-problem is I'm about 5,000 miles away!(London UK) ""You know, come to think of it, I may have setup the Airport Base Station w/ a wirless connection. If I remember correctly, after I reset the Station, I accessed it using the Airport software on my Powerbook. It was set on ch.11, so my Powerbook saw it even though it was not transmitting as of yet, and I configured it using the Powerbook."" Trying right now!
