Our base station is running b/g, with 128-bit WEP.  No radius or  
anything to restrict computers.  If my Powerbook is sleeping, she has  
no problem accessing the network.  But if my computer is connected to  
the internets via the base station and her computer is next to mine,  
even within a few feet of the base station, she cannot surf.  At  
these times, she might have a couple of bars of signal strength, but  
websites do not resolve.  When I shut off, she moves to 4 bars of  
strength and everything is hunky-dory for her, implying that she is  
configured correctly.

I might try WPA, but my son has a rev A iBook that doesn't support  
WPA, so it would just be an experiment.

Thanks,

Peter
