I discovered this too. Most annoying, as I can't do encryption between my airport and my laptop, nor can I set a password to restrict others from accessing it. Luckily I live in the middle of nowhere and nobody else could use it unless they were sitting on my property ;-) BK> when I switch to using the AirPort as a wireless bridge to my BK> Ethernet/ISDN router, I won't have these kinds of problems any more. I use it as a bridge to my wired ISDN router, and let the Airport do the DHCP for all clients as well. Works like a charm and has never needed to be rebooted since March when I got it. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
