Baffled by Airport

[Greg Hamilton]

The BROADCAST value looks pretty unlikely, probably should be
BROADCAST=168.103.XX.255

I also have these two settings. No idea what they are.
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=no

You haven't set a KEY. Do you use a WEP key? If so then run the Apple 
AirPort Admin Utility in OS X, connect to the base station and select 
'Equivalent Password' from the 'Base Station' menu. The value it 
displays is the hex equivalent of the text passphrase you use as your 
WEP encryption key. Copy this value to the 'KEY=' line in your config 
file.
