| Hey fryke, your last suggestion did it, although I had to totally reset several times. Now things appear to be working fine, at least the two basestations (the TC at the Intel iMac in my office, the Express at the stereo in our living room) are recognized and operational.
A couple of minor issues:
1. I will still have to rename the Express, since it now has the name of Apple and some letters and numbers.
2. Music streaming from the Intel to the Express is flawless. Streaming from my Powerbook to the Express is interrupted. I remember this issue from a long time ago, where it was that pesky iTunesHelper that had to be removed. I will have to update iTunes and Quicktime to the latest version on the Powerbook (which I intend to keep on 10.3.9), hoping that that will improve the situation.
At least, I'm back in the air again.
A different but Wifi related issue is the following:
- Intel iMac on 10.5.2 connects automatically to the TC and to the internet.
- when I boot either my iMac G4 (10.3.9) or my Powerbook (10.3.9), I have to make this connection manually, although settings are to connect automatically. Not really a problem, but a bit of a nuisance. Any suggestions?
Finally, it looks like moving up to Leopard and TC more or less forced me to move up to WPA-personal protection, but I'm afraid this will now exclude the iMac G3 running 9.2.2, won't it. Not that that worries me anymore, but nevertheless.
Why I want to keep both 9.2.2 and my two (or at least one of the two) dual-bootable Macs? Well, I've still got quite a lot of stuff running under OS9 or in Classic. For instance, I have heaps of HyperCard stacks, that I will need to convert to something more 21st century like, but that I don't want to delete completely.
Finally: does anyone have a suggestion what I can do with a well-working Airport Extreme Basestation (the snowy white flying saucer). Any way I could also integrate that, or would that needlessly complicate things? I want to keep things simple, you see, very Mac-like.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I will try to stop by more regularly.  |
