I had to manually configure this using a Windows 98
computer, and then I tried to get on the wirelss system
using my eMac. The wireless casrd found the network I
created, but it prompted me for a password. I entered by
netork administrator password, which didn't help, so then
I tried to enter a few different things. NOTHING!

How do I fix this? Is this an eMac problem, or do I need
ot do something different for the base router to make it
so no password is needed?

It actually wants the WEP key, but you need to enter some sort of a
character before the WEP key to tell the MAC that it is a hex value.

So you may want to ask on a Macintosh newsgroup or you may luck out &
someone here will know.
