				Mac Airport update
			 
			
			it's not just you - the apple airport update 3.4 is rotten to the core. If you've used software update in the alst 2 weeks updated and are having range problems, IP problems, or firewall problems, you can uninstall the update by following the direction at this site: http://homepage.mac.com/fishsun/arti..._airport34.htm -sm |

			It pays to be lazy.   Apple has been prompting me to update for months. Juuuuuust haven't gotten around to it.

			When my son got his (*)&)()& Macintosh, I decided to get a wireless router so that I could hook his computer into the network.  I consider the Airport, for about 1 second, before buying a wireless/wired router from Linksys for less than half the price.

			i'm running the d-link here, and the update went wacky on my side. It's a card software problem, not a base software problem. -sm |

			Heya, I have 3.4.1 here on my PBG4 and it gives me back the range I need. Now if it had an external antenna connector  M |
