I am new to Apple Mac and have just bought an iBook G4 1.33Ghz. I am trying to get the Airport wireless connection working to a 3Com 3CRWDR100Y-72 wireless router to which another (Windows) PC is already connected. The Airport can clearly 'see' the router because it correctly identifies the SSID but when I click to connect, it asks me for a WEP password and I have no idea what the password is. I have tried 'admin', 'public', my system user password, configuring what I think is the right WEP hex password on the router, as well as other things, all to no avail. Is there something in the router settings that I am missing or is there some other configuration I need to do on the Apple? Any help much appreciated.

Im having the same problem, only with a wanadoo live book and my G5 (with tiger). im in a student house and theres 8 of us, im the only mac user. we managed to get the apple working though. The main computer to which the router is connected was a pc (i'm told this is a vital detail) and using this pc, we could disable the security settings of the router (the WEP code which is holding you up) : with the pc there was a tab in its windows menu bar called 'configure livebook' or something like that. anyway, this opens a webpage where you can alter the security settings of your router. once these were all disabled my trusty apple would connect and surf perfectly. however this is not the perfect solution as now anyone can use our network as its not password protected, but it does work albeit not ideally. was wondering if anyone else has had any other (better) solutions? better still, anyone know of isps that actually support modern apples (wanadoo doesnt, wankers!)
