I set up the Airport Extreme last night and all of the iMacs connected without a problem. My Toshiba with Vista with an Atheros AR5006EG wireless adapter which is supposed to have wireless *** g capability is not seeing the base. I can hard tail it in without any problem.
The PC recognizes the network but it is not accessible. I am told "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network."
The laptop was set up as part of a workgroup on a home network which thanks to the arrival of the iMacs no longer exists. Although I have used computers for years I am a real newbie with the Macs. So should there be a matching workgroup somewhere on the iMac that I need to change the name of my PC to.
Also my PC is only allowing me to put in a 13 digit WEP key not the key I had on the old wireless network which was working with all four computers before I changed routers. So I changed the security to a 13 digit WEP key and it still did not recognize it.
If I try to manually connect I have the option of entering the information including putting in the WPA2 - Personal key which I do. Then I am told the network already exists and then attempt to join it and receive the aforementioned message. I have tried every setting all to no avail.
Thanks
