[QUOTE="Sabrina2000, post: 1199729, member: 191646"] hello mrplow i so appreciate all the help you've given, but think I'm going to have to give up on this now ! At least we can create /use the unsecured network if needed sometimes. Tried to set up network on vista but the mac would not connect. I set up with WEP security, 5 character password. Public folder sharing was set to off, ,network discovery on, file sharing off,password protected sharing on. On macbook, in Sys prefs, network, I set location to "automatic" ( not sure if that ever makes a difference),but when I tried to look for and join the network I had just set up on the vista ( and I did re-start vista) I entered the network name, selected WEP password ( as opposed to WEP40/128 bit hex and WEP40/128 bit ASCII)kept getting a prompt for WEP password which i entered, but then it would keep prompting for password and not go further or join network . And airport said it could not find any wireless devices. I'm probably doing something wrong somewhere....but oh well, I've learnt a lot from this. Thank you so much . I will check back in case there's anything else you think I could try, but I doubt it..... Best wishes sabrina [/QUOTE]
