[MACEP] PC on Airport wireless

[Mike Ely]

Main gotcha is that winXP is brain-dead where closed wireless  
networks are concerned.  Make sure your base station broadcasts the  
SSID or you may not be able to connect to it at all.  Also you'll  
have to get the hex version of the WEP password as XP is pretty  
stupid about that, too.  Otherwise it will work fine - just takes 6  
times as long to setup a win client versus a mac.  (I'm really not  
exaggerating here, either).

Cheers,
Mike
