Sherwin,
This may sound stupid but when I am setting up new networks I notice
that after I wirelessly configure an airport and change the network
name when it reboots most times I see no signal in the menubar. Even if
the network is named one of my "known" networks (I notice if you run
through a lot of networks that pref gets confused a lot re-asking me to
recognize networks I use all the time). If you look under the icon the
other network is there just not selected and it won't show the signal
unless selected. That's all that I can think of.
Good luck,

Hello Folks:
At my University, we have a wireless "cloud" that blankets most of the
campus, using "Cisco 1200 IOS AP" access points.
Short version: I get no signal no matter what settings I try. When I
say "I", I actually mean, "everyone I know with an iBook G4, running
OS 10.3.x,
with an Airport Extreme Wireless card".* Today I brought in my new
laptop to see that I'm affected as well.
Throughout my entire troubleshooting process, I get no signal (either
in the Menubar or in Internet Connect), and in Internet Connect it's
set by default to "WEP Password"- our Wifi network is *not*
WEP-enabled. I know there *is* a strong signal, because my laptop
running 10.1.5 is sitting right next to it... My co-worker (who works
in the basement) running 10.2.
x on an iBook also receives strong signal.
Our Help Desk is not very hd¨îelpful when it comes to MacOS. Not to
say they didn't try (I made them!)- but they are apparently stumped by
anything that doesn't need a Security Update every 23 days. I can't
seem to phrase my query right for Apple KB.
NOTE: This (iBook G4) laptop connects flawlessly to my network at home
(Belkin Router) and at my friend's house (Linksys Router).
I have a detailed breakdown of my troubleshooting process if this
helps.
That's the short version. Thanks for any assistance.
*I know this happens on everyone's iBook_G4/AirportExtreme, because
the Help Desk always sends them to me!
