AirTunes/Airport Express, WEP, and Netgear routers
Thanks - this sorted it out for me
AirTunes/Airport Express, WEP, and Netgear routers
Okay, after stressing about how to type a hex-encoded password to the point that I started to wonder if I had actually forgotten what the damned password was, I logged onto the router by entering it's set-up address: http://192.168.0.1 in Safari and started to consider if I wanted to just turn WEP off. Then I noticed an option under the "Wireless Settings" menu, called "Wireless Station Access List". From what I can tell this allows you to restrict the devices that can access the wireless network by specific MAC address numbers (that's Media Access Control address, not Mac-intosh address, every computer, even PC's, have unique MAC addresses). So I found my iBook's MAC address by clicking (Apple) - About This Mac - More Info... - Network tab. Copied it off the pane, it's formatted like nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
