[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 51251, member: 6074"] [b]It works[/b] I did what you speak of with my XP laptop, and PowerBook laptop. While at my dad's house, I plugged into his network (no wireless there) with my PB, and Created a wireless network. Give it a WEP key, 5 character for 40 bit, 13 chars for 128-bit (ASCII, not HEX). On the XP notebook I was able to see the wireless network, in the Advanced Wireless Options, you plug in the ASCII key you punch in on the Mac, and you have to click on the Shared Key checkbox, otherwise it will only have a link, but no data will go across. You'll see several sent packets, but no receive in the status window. Hope this helps. -Ian [/QUOTE]
