Well, after much fiddling(sp) testing and general playing around, my base station has given up the ghost. I got it working for a couple of day with the cover off so it was running cooler. Now no connection at all. It appears to no longer broadcast. So I am off to the store, I will get whatever is the best bargain, unfortunately for Apple their products are too pricey to justify the expense, fortunately for me there are many brands combined router and AP that are less that $30 these days. With these cheap prices it is not worth the time or money to repair mine. On the upside i have a lucent wavelan card for my old powerbook or to sell on ebay. Thanks for all the suggestion and input.
