I set up a neighbors linksys box, thus he gave me his sign on password. Using WEP 128, and everytime I restart my ibook I have to sign into the connection. How can I connect more easily by putting the pass in just once.

thanks

Have you set (in Tiger):

System prefs > Network > Airport tab > by default join preferred network

If you've done that already, try deleting the password from the keychain and then reconnecting

Utilities > Keychain access
