Hello...

We have a linksys wireless hooked up, but even with my wireless turned on, I'm not picking it up at all... What's wrong? Does this thing only pick up wireless from another Airport hub? If so... then that really sucks...

No, any 802.11b wireless network should work.

Hmmm... that's weird... When I click on that wireless icon on the top right, all it has is Tsunami, which I believe is the defult network if it doesn't pick up anything else, but of course, can't connect to it. Well... there's the 5 pin thing too.

having same problem with Linksys BEFW11S4 and AT&T cable modem on 4 month old TiBook. tried automatic connection - works intermittantly. Tried today to configure connection to use manual connection instead of DHCP (via System Prefs / Network), and assigning an IP address to TiBook, but that doesn't work at all.

the TiBook works fine with Linksys BEFSRU-31 and WAP11 at my office; will be figuring out the difference over the next day or so. Does anyone know what configuration is needed?
