I've got a AEBS with a 17" PB connecting wirelessly with no problems.

Recently my wife got a airport card put into her G4 15" PB.

Last night i had some time to set her up with a wireless connection at our home, but ran into a few problems.

1. She's using OS 9
2. Running most recent 2.0.4 Airport software for OS 9
3. Airport is connected and seeing my Wireless Network
4. I cannot connect to my network.

It seems that Norton Virus does a little dance when i try to initiate a connection to my network and then the connection never occurs.

I am in the process of getting her IT people to give up the password to disable the Anti-virus software so i can further test.

Has anyone else heard of issues with virus protection and wireless network connections?
