Hello. I'm having trouble connecting an Apple iBook to my existing wireless network. Many PCs are already attached to the network wirelessly. I use a 3Com gateway and a 128 bit encryption string. The iBook finds the network, as I've broadcasted the SSID, but when I chose from the dropdown...

i've heard a rumor that the new tiger has some kind of api that will allow mac users to run 32bit windows programs on tiger? can anyone clarify that and verify if it is true or not? thanks

Sorry if this is a re-post, but the forum search isn't working for me. When I updated to Tiger on the day of its release, Windows Media Player stopped working. It would just freeze up when trying to play files. So, I uninstalled it and downloaded it again. Now, the installer for it freezes as...
