Had a bit of frustration yesterday, as I brought my laptop and its nifty new wireless adapter to my buddy hoosier_dadi's house to try to connect to his wireless network, which runs off of one of those Apple Airports. After trying and failing to get it running with the Airport's WEP encryption enabled, we managed to get it connected with WEP shut off, and subsequently got it to inexplicably work with WEP turned back on. If that wasn't enough to set off the F.M. meter, it then ceased to work again for whatever reason. Some poking around on some support forums show that getting PCs to connect to Airport networks is a trick that plenty of other folks have problems with, so this shouldn't be too surprising... I guess I'm surprised that over the years cross-platform operations have progressed to the point where we had any expectation that this could work in the first place.
