XP and Airport Networking

[Ihor 0]

I am an educator with a wireless (Linksys PCMCIA card)PC.I have successfully configured my Toshiba laptop with an airport (MAC) wireless network at my school.It works great with a range equal to the ibooks in our department.For anyone interested, I will outline what I did to accomplish this connection;

1. Update software and firmware from Linksys site.

2. Have network administrator access the airport base station and obtain encryption code for a third party wireless card.

3. Set up linksys cofiguration utility under infrastructure,SSID (enter ID of airport basestation),Tx rate fully automatic,PS mode disabled.

4. Set up encryption manually ( enter encryption code here)

5. Reboot and good luck!
