[G4] Wireless networking

[Tim Collier]

It's been a long time since I played around with a PC (2001) but when 
you're asked to 'log-on' you're putting in the username and password on 
the PC, right?  Something else you might try is creating another user 
account on the PC and when asked to log on, put in the 
username/password combo.  Just a shot in the dark, but it might work.
