Power Mac Wireless

[Seth Dimbert]

Jon,

If you're talking about an AirPort network, things are a little complicated:
Apple makes non-Apple machines enter a longer password than Apple machines
to connect... You need the Airport Admin Utility (on a mac) to get this
information. The Network Admin can give it to you.

If you're trying to connect an airport-enabled Mac to a plain-jane 802.11
network, things are much easier... You just enter the information right
where you would expect to: System Preferences | Network Pane |
 Airport Prefs. You shouldn't need to tell the client how long the key is...
You just enter it.

HTH,

-SD
