Yes, but if it's running WEP, you'll need the "Network Password", which is different from the string the Apple guys put in. The Apple administrator tool hashes the text string they put in to create a 40-bit password. There's a pull-down option in the Apple Airport manager show the "network password", which will be a 5 byte hexidecimal value. Use that as your WEP key and it will work just fine. That's what I do at home. Regards, K^2 > I have a laptop with an orinoco gold card, can I use that to connect to > an Apple Airport?
