PB G4. 15" 512MB RAM & EMac G4 superdrive
I posted this on the networking forum but no one posted any responses, so I thought I'd try the switchers. Here is the situation...

I have the G4 PB that is wireless. In my home I have a Belkin 802.11g, wireless router. Everything works fine. At work in the maintenance area we have another Belkin that my PB recognized automatically and connected to the I'net with no problem. At a different location at work there is a D-Link DWL 2100AP. My PB did not see it automatically. As far as I know D-Link is Mac friendly, and there are no restrictions on the AP to prevent anyone from accessing thru it. Can anyone give my some answers to what I need to do for my PB to see the D-Link?

Thanks.

could it be your card only supports 802.11b and not g, so your home network is out of its range, and at your work they use 802.11b?
