Hello all -

I have a few technical questions regarding my recent DSL acquisition and Aiport.

1) Can you turn on WEP and have the password be stored in the keycahin so that every time the computer is turned on or rebooted, I don't have to select the airport network and enter in a password. I just want to be logged on the the net and not worry.

2) I want to be able to access my computer from a remote location; ftp/ssh.

How can you figure out the router IP? Since I have a dynamic IP, it changes. How can I always be updated what the IP is?

Once the IP is known, how can I ftp/ssh into my desktop from a remote location through the airport? I have multiple computer on my network, so how can I set that all incoming traffic be pointed to my desktop?


Thanks for all the help!
