All,
Just getting started with Airport, as it has been a few years since I last set one up.
Stats:
iBook G3 800MHz and a graphite Airport base station (1999). Both were purchased on Ebay. I don't know anything about the base station's settings from the previous owner.
I'm very Mac literate in software and hardware, just not Airport. When I contacted Insightbb.com, we powered off the cable modem and after it reset, plugged in the ABS via ethernet. Of course the ABS lights were all flashing green, seemingly in synch with the cable modem activity lights. The tech saw the ABS after I gave him the Ethernet ID from the label under the base. However, it didn't appear to be pulling or giving an IP address. After awhile, I just gave up in the interest of time and set up the iBook directly. Does anyone have any advice on setting up the ABS, so I can use the iBook's Airport Card?
