Re: Trying to go wireless with Pismo
I have a D-Link 614+, and I am using a HEX key. I found a reference on their sight saying if you want to use encryption with Apple, you MUST precede the key with a $ to connect. Don't know if this is of any use to you. Like I said, I intentionally enabled WEP. Kris Am running Jaguar, and have a Dell TrueMobile 1150 card. Can't get it configured to pick up wireless D-Link router. On wireless software driver I downloaded it asks for Hex key? I am simply getting this one Pismo to connect. Can anyone help?

Re: Pismo daughter card
As you may or may not know, the daughtercard is snapped or clipped onto the motherboard using a multitude of little pins. As your PowerBook is carried, bumped, hit, etc., some of those pins may start loosing contact in an intermittent way, causing random crashes or lock-ups. Reseating is the operation where you open your Pismo by pulling the keyboard. Then, you remove the shield and you then have access to the daughtercard. You then gently but firmly pry the daughtercard and put it back while making sure that it's properly snapped or clipped. At some point, I had a similar problem with my Pismo. I thought that the processor had been going bad. Symptoms included not able to start the computer. The keyboard would be active, e.g. pressing Caps Lock would lit up the key, but that's as far as I could go. Before sending it for service, I reseated the daughtercard and never had problems since then. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** On 22/03/04 10:58, earthyfemme [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Laurent, Could you define 'reseat' please?

Scanner repetition?

So I tried to connect the Canon 500F scanner through the intermediary of a USB hub with the printer to the printer outlet of the base station. No response. How can I connect the scanner permanently to my network. My computer is a 17 PB elevated to desktop status bij a Griifin iCurve assisted by a wireless keyboard and Pro mouse but on the move as well so I would not like to use its USB port for the scanner.

Connecting my Canon i550 BJ printer works smoothly and the machine is shared in the network. So I tried to connect the Canon 500F scanner through the intermediary of a USB hub with the printer to the printer outlet of the base station. No response.

My computer is a 17 PB elevated to desktop status bij a Griifin iCurve assisted by a wireless keyboard and Pro mouse but on the move as well so I would not like to use its USB port for the scanner. You can't. The airport USB is a print server only. There are two ways to do what you want. One is to connect the scanner to another computer and share it that way. This is dependent on the scanner software having a sharing feature. Keyspan has a device called a USB Server http://www.keyspan.com/news/news.040108USBServer.spml.

I tried it with a Proxim Harmony card and couldn't get it to work, even with multiple re-installs of the software (that's one of the trouble shooting tips). The card would work with the IOxperts driver, but I didn't know if it was worth another $20 to me. I have also used the sourceforge driver with a WaveLAN Gold card in my Titanium, it works fine when I'm out of Airport range, which is only about 30 feet. Basically, you can install either driver and try them out. The IOxperts one will work for 30 minutes at a time, so you can see if that's a possible solution for you. --- JSH TiBook -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

AirPort base station and multiple USB printers
Anyone know if you can share more than one printer via an AirPort base station? I was just wondering if you could hook a USB hub to the base station and then connect two (or more) printers to it.
