I am trying to set up a Wallstreet with a Lucent orinoco Silver running MacOS 9.2.1 to work with my AirPort Extreme base station.
I seem to have two problems. My major problem is that the AirPort software on the Wallstreet has gotten the bit between its teeth and INSISTS on trying to connect to my neighbor's linksys network instead. Unfortunately, the two do not seem compatible, and the connection runs at a glacial pace (about a tenth of what I can get on my TiBook with AirPort card.) When I open the AirPort (2.0.4) application, it tries talk to my neighbor's network, and fails to get the response it is looking for. I cannot make it stop trying so that I can select a different network. I have to force quit the application. On one occasion I got an out of memory message, and subsequent boosting of the AirPort partition all the way past 14 MB (vs. 1024K recommended) does not help; the application rather quickly gobbles up all the memory (as shown in About This Computer) I give it. Incidentally, I have no problem using the linksys system with the TiBook; every time my AirPort Extreme craps out, the TiBook happily switches over without my even being aware of it. Trashing the AirPort prefs and restarting does no good. My other problem is that the card is listed as WEP 64, vs. 128 for the AirPort Extreme. I was hoping it would work, albeit with reduced security, but I haven't even gotten far enough along to find out. -- Robert MacLeay -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
