So I got the AirPort card (original) for my daughter's iMac G3 last night and tried hooking it up to my router.
It sees the networks around me, and I can connect to my neighbor's unsecured wireless and surf the net just fine, so I know the card works.
However, when I try to connect to my router, it tells me I have the wrong password nearly every time. Once or twice I actually did get it to accept the password, but then it refused to get an IP address. (IMHO, the AirPort application is flakey and severely limited, it probably didn't really accept the password).
I have a Linksys WRT54GS and it's using 128 WEP. It has a hex key, but I tried the tricks I could find:
MYWEPKEY
$MYWEPKEY
$MYWEPKEY$
#MYWEPKEY
0xMYWEPKEY
I know I'm not mistyping the key, I copied and pasted it directly from the router configuration page.
Her computer has both OS9 and OSX (the first first version of OSX, sorry I'm new to Macs, I don't know which "cat" that is). Same result in both systems.
Is there something else I'm missing??? I'm going crazy here.
