[G4] Wireless networking

[Valerie Maples]

Thanks for getting back to me, Eric! I went back to check, and I have
everything open, even my whole hard drive. In other words, sharing is
enabled on all folders. I still get the same message, asking me to log on,
but none of the combinations of my log on or password (I don't even really
remember if I have them, but I use a limited few) but producing the error.

I'm beginning to thank and losing my mind, and that's not typical. I usually
can get through these things pretty quickly.
