As Dan stated, the 169.x IP range is bad. From your description, this sounds a lot like an encryption key problem. In my experience, even if the wifi client has associated with the access point, it doesn't mean that the two are talking to each other. Easiest thing to try first is to statically assign an IP to the DA. This should help rule out a DHCP issue (which I have run into with OS 9). If the static IP assignment doesn't help, next thing I would try is to disable the encryption on the Actiontec and see if the DA and the Actiontec can talk to each other. Or check any logs that may be viewable in the Actiontec itself, there might be some clues in there as well. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
