Hi.
I am a computer professional with five PCs at home networked together with 802.11a and 802.11b. I just bought a PowerMAC G4, and I have to admit I'm very impressed! I love the Panther a lot. And overall Mac feels a bit more snappy than the PCs. I think I'm going to phase out my PCs with Macs.
Anyways, here's the problem I'm facing. Once evey now and then, when I wake up the computer from sleep, it's no longer joined with the 802.11b network. (I have Airport installed on G4). When I click the AirPort icon and rejoin, it prompts me the password for the access point. And it gets annoying after a couple of tries..
There was an option to save the pasword in "keychain", which I did. My limited understanding is that keychain is there so that you don't have to remember individual passwords, and you need to know just keychain password. Evidently it's not working well..
What I'd like to do is have my Mac remember the 802.11b network password so I never have to type either the network password or the keychain password. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for the reply in advance.
