I was tempted to just send this message to Al Poulin, as he responded  
to my last request, but decided - instead to send it to the group.

I have a microwave link on my roof that I access through Airport. I  
have a Mac Book and have not YET upgraded to Leopard as I have to  
many MAIL problems.

If I I felt like it, I could access the internet via my neighbors  
router, which was much faster.

I'd been paying for 2 other Broadband packages that I'd not been  
using, until the microwave became incredibly slow and my neighbor his  
behind a firewall.

A friend who is VERY experienced with PCs has installed two WiFi  
Routers on the ends of both Broadband lines, but tells me if I want  
to move between the Microwave and other two broadband sources, I have  
to configure network preferences every time I want to explore the  
other, changing the IP and DNS numbers.

  I just want to click on them in AIRPORT, like I always did.

Surely, on a MAC there's a simple solution.
