I can get the card to see the base, and I can change the base's configuration with Airport Admin Utility from the laptop, so I have a connection. I just can't figure out how to do anything else. I've tried to network with the iMac the way I would using cabled ethernet (using "Connect to Server"), and that's no go. And I can't figure out how to send a request to the base to connect to the internet. On the iMac, it appears there is some hook between airport and internet connect, so that airport becomes an option to sign on using Internet Connect (and I can sign on using the base station by selecting "Connect" from the airport icon on the menubar, just like I would using the telephone icon with the internal modem). Does non-Apple software not have this interconnectability, or what am I missing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Jim Eddy James Eddy Woodworks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Princeton, NJ <http://home.earthlink.net/~giametti/index.htm> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --
