Dear Phil,

My AirPort-configuration:
(AirPort)
AirPort Network Name: APSMI01
Create a closed network: unchecked
Channel: 11
Station density: Select Default (Low)
Multicast rate: Select Default (2)
Enable interference robustness: unchecked
Enable encryption (using WEP): checked
Change password:
Pasword: **** (any char, mine is 4 chars long)
WEP key length: 40-bit
After defining the password, make sure to press the top Lock-symbol (Password) and write this value as a hexadeimal-code into the corresponding field (WEP-key) of your WaveLan-Setup on your Newton (all chars in UPPERCASE).
(Internet)
I use: Connect using: Ethernet
Configure: Using DHCP
DNS-Server: (My DNS-server)
Domain name: (My Domain name)
Note: This is the configuration I use at work. At home I use PPPoE, and DHCP.
(Network)
Distribute IP address: unchecked (e.g. use AirPort as a bridge)
Note: At home this is checked, and "Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT)" is marked.
(Port Mapping)
At work: none
At home: several
(Access Control)

Newton configuration:
(802.11b WaveLan setup)
Mode: Infrastructure

WEP Key: hexadecim
use WEP: checked
Key-code: ******** (as generated by your AirPort Basestation)
(Internet Setup)
Configuration: DHCP Server

Domain Name: (My ISP's domain name)
Did I forget anything? :-)
