[G4] Wireless networking

[Eric Volker]

I was getting *exactly* the same error when trying to connect to my PC 
laptop. The problem in my case was that there was nothing being shared 
on the PC. Go to the PC, right click on any folder and click on 
"Sharing and Security." You'll have to click a couple of times on 
various dire warnings about sharing your files; if it asks, do not run 
the network setup wizard. Just click on the option to enable sharing 
anyway.
