Well, I picked up s TrueMobile 1150, popped it into the 1400, ran the SetUp Assistant, found my network, had the Assistant set up an Orinoco config, got the bars and thought Woo-hoo! I'm home free! But...I can't upload/download e-mail and I can't connect to any sites in my browser. Granted, I'm running 8.6, Eudora and IE, but still... I checked the TCP/IP control panel and the Orinoco software properly set up the Orinoco config; and my network is listed right there. What am I missing?

  OK, I'm, an idiot. All it took was some futzing around with the TCP/IP and security settings, as well as changing AppleTalk to wireless as well, and some trial-and-error to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Now I'm connecting easily to the Internet through the Linksys Wireless-G router, plus sharing files with my dual-proc G4 and my venerable ol' Power Computing clone as well as printing to my Laserjet 5MP through an AsanteTalk box! WOW!
  
  Mike, if not for you and Derek Miller's instructions at http://www.penmachine.com/techie/airport1400.html, I couldn't have done it. THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!!!

  Hi DigitalBill,
  
  I had the same experience that you did with the orinoco wifi card except I haven't gotten to the happy part of the story. I have also futzed around with tcp/ip and apple talk. I see the bars for the lokal wireless ap's and I put in the network encryption codes and it seens to be ok, but I can't seem to get connected. I keep getting the wrong kind of ip address. I get that 196 ip address.
  Any suggestions?
