Having some annoying issues with Airport on my G3 dual USB iBook. I shuttle in between work & home, and both places have wireless networks. At home, it's a completely open network. At work, it's 128bit encrypted. For a while, everything was fine, but recently, it's giving me a lot of trouble to connect to either network.

At home, the network name no longer shows up in the menu. However, if I open "internet connect", I can see it in the menu in there, and select it. When I get home, it's no longer automatically connecting (I'm assuming that's related to it not showing up in the menu).

At work, we've got a cheap Netgear router, and I don't think it allows for password access, instead I have to enter in the entire hex key (a real pain to do over & over again). The computer never seems to remember anymore, and I find myself having to re-connect every time (using internet connect, as this network does not broadcast its ssid). I really want to set this somewhere and forget it.

Anyone have any ideas for this...?

Nope. But here's a bump for ya in case somebody does.

Are there other people who regularly switch between wireless networks with different configurations? Do your computers remember your settings, or is this just a flaw in the OS?

Mine remembers, so as long as I switch the location.

You would be better off posting this in the Networking forum. You would have a better chance of finding the answer than in the MacOS forum. Wish I could help. Good luck.
