Hi Y'all...
I have an Airport problem.
Recently, I put an original Airport card in my iBook (G3/500 - Dual
USB). Worked fine under Panther and after upgrading to Tiger, it
still performed flawlessly. This afternoon, I reset the Power manager
in an attempt to squeeze a bit more life out of
The truly amazing thing is the actual stupidity you come across in
this PC dominated world when it comes to Mac Networking. Back when I
used PC's I used a wired network and I was really new to networking
back then. I even took a course on it at a local community college.
With that under
Reminds me of when I went to Staples, and asked a salesperson about
setting up a wireless network between a PC and a Mac. They didn't know,
so they called over a higher up, who told me it could not be done.
I got a Linksys WRT54G (not from Staples), installed an Airport extreme
card, called

I do agree with you, there. I know that I use Linux and OS X for most
of what I do, but it's really a pain to have to jump through hoops to
configure a router. Now, I agree with your condescending outlook on
such things, but there are some things that I'd like to be able to see

Plain simple truth of the matter is that Apple designed their Airport
base stations and the Airport Express to work with your Mac. The
Airport Setup software is designed to set it up in just a few simple
steps that rarely even require referring to the enclosed
documentation. Whether you

So they really don't want Mac users buying their product.

Hi all if that is so then why does mac format give it 4.5 out of 5 as
a mac router and it only dropped the .5 % because of the price even
thought they are, roughly 30% cheaper that the airport base stations.
I think That it is each to there own on the router side and what

Ouch. Sounds like a bad business strategy, as far as I'm concerned.

As long as you don't need their support, you're fine. But
Strange though, I've had people swear by Linksys routers and say

I've decided to go wireless with my iBook-500, but I don't have a

Hi All,
I'm looking for a wireless card for my G3 icebook. I know that I'm pretty
much limited to the original (and pricey) Apple card and that's okay. But...
will the Apple card work with non-apple base stations? I can find like,
Linksys and D-Link cheaper than the corresponding Apple Products.
yes, they should. i have 2 regulars and 1 extreme working flawlessly
with the wifi dsl modem that my provider uses. it is a 2wire brand. my

Is true that PC card wireless cards are cheaper and
easier to find than Airport cards. I too have an

It's important to understand that the protocol used to
communicate over a network is TCP/IP and wireless
802.11b/g. These protocols are not platform specific.

It is an Airport Extreme base station, running 10.2.3/9.2. Another symptom

AFAIK, this option is not available on dual-ethernet Airport base
stations -- the presence of two ethernet ports makes Bridging academic.

Not true. The only requirement for an Airport

an Airport *CARD* equipped Mac to configure it with.
The only requirement
for an Airport *CARD* is that the Mac have an
Airport slot to put it in.

I was reading the specs on an Airport station and think it was telling me that a G4
was required. True? Can I not use Airport on my G3 Lombard?

Actually, not true. They have a version out for Windows.
You can use airport with a PC even. The administrator app you use to set
it up only runs on Mac OSes as listed above.
