Can anyone help? I am having trouble connecting on my home network with my Powerbook 1400/166 equipped with a Lucent/Orinoco Silver card. It works fine on the open network at work, but at home, with WEP enabled, when I check the TCP/IP settings on the Mac, it is only filling in the IP address and the subnet, but not the router address or the name server address. I think I did manage to connect last week, but only with WEP disabled on the wireless router (entirely open network). The silver card is, I thought, able to handle WEP encryption ok.
Is there any workaround on this, or other things I should try? I don't want to be without at least WEP level protection at home. (My Pismo with airport card handles the WEP security level just fine.) If I have to track down a gold card to make it work, I will, but I don't want to buy that only to have the same problem!
Thanks for any advice...
