Do I have a problem with my airport card?

Okay, I have a 12" PB w/ airport built in and I seem to have some trouble getting on networks from time to time. Basically at school they use MAC filtering and only one of the wireless networks will let me on without any trouble (while the other hotspots occasionally let me on). I have a Belkin wireless router at my house and another at my girl's house...on both I am using 128bit hex encryption and MAC address filtering. Sometime my powerbook will ask me to enter the password and sometimes it will not. Lastly though for some reason I have no problem "seeing" other surrounding networks that...if I choose, I can hop on the unprotected ones with no problem. I guess I would think the problem is with the Belkin routers, but then there is the problem at school...also, my girl's iBook has no problem being "remembered" and getting on the Belkin networks...anyhow, any wireless tips of input would be appreciated!

You probably know as much about wireless as I do. So, I presume that you have added the networks as trusted networks. Also, you might try setting up a separate location for each network if you have not done so (but I never have needed to on my iBook).

hmm...that's a thought. I haven't tried setting up a seperate location for each...I just have auto selected...I do have the networks "saved" as trusted networks...Do you know how to check which trusted networks you have saved?

I have only one location/trusted network setup. I think that all would show up using "Internet Connect," but since I only have one setup, I am not positive.
