[X4U] Wireless networking problems and 10.2.8

[lj Palmer]

I may be confused by what you are asking for but here goes.
If you are talking about reconfiguring your Airport Base Station you 
want to use

file:/Applications/Utilities/Airport\  Admin

If you are talking about reconfiguring your mac, then you want to use

System Preference -> Network Preferences
You can add a new location or change the priority of the internet 
connections by showing "Network Port Configurations". You can drag the 
ports up and down to change the order of use. (Mine are Airport, 
Built-in Ethernet, Bluetooth and last internal modem because virtually 
never use modem. )  If modem is at the top of the list then the system 
will attempt it first.
