Airport/iBook/YDL3.0 problems

[Ben Hall]

Thanks, I'm having the same problem and it was driving me nuts.  What do 
you do if you're not running an encrypted network?  Would I just set the 
ESSID and leave the key blank? 

(FWIW, I run unencrypted because I read that it causes significant 
performance degredation, and my base station can be set to only accept 
certain MAC addresses.  Good enough for me!)

Cheers,

Ben
