Andrew:
Your email made me try a Lucent Gold card after I had no luck with my
Silver and it worked!
Here is my situation:
We had a DSL line installed at work and I bought an Apple Airport
Extreme base station to add wireless
capability. I put in all the appropriate settings and nothing happened
using my Silver card. I kept
getting the same message you got about not getting a dhcp connection and
found it frustrating. Since
sending mail is with another SMTP server than the one where my personal
mail is received from, I thought,
at first, that was where the problem was.
Getting back to the situation this afternoon, and trying the Gold
card, everything worked from the
get-go. I sent mail through the new DSL SMTP server. I received mail
via my usual POP server. I surfed.
I keep different set-ups on different Newts, so I was able to confirm
the Gold to work with Lunasuite
SMTP and POP, enRoute SMTP and POP, Lunasuite Http and Nethopper
Http. I have not tried Simple mail or
Newtscape yet.
I have used the Silver in a local WiFi public trial, so I am not sure
why the Silver did not work in this
situation. Since the Base Station is mine to set-up as I please, it
was running without passwords or
WEP. I will be trying combinations of WEP and passwords so that
access can be given to those worthy of
it.
