The question is, which of the two devices on the iBook (wireless or ethernet) has got MAC address 00-30-65-27-60-55? Is it the wireless adapter or the ethernet? You can check the assigned IP addresses on the iBook itself. Go to Terminal and type in this command: ipconfig getifaddr en0 (that's for the built-in ethernet) or: ipconfig getifaddr en1 (that's for the wireless adapter). I have a feeling that you're not actually getting an ip address via DHCP for the wireless adapter.... The commands above will test this. Tom Burke
