Right, have Cisco 340 access point and wifi card for my computer. I'm a complete newb when it comes to networking, so I have a number of questions.

The parts were bought off ebay, from reputable sellers, so they should hopefully work. However, I lack all the drivers and software. Can someone provide links to where I can download these, as I took at look at the cisco site, and it was very confusing.

Also, securing the network. Any recommendations for how to go about doing this? there will be one desktop with a wifi card and one of the G4 ibooks in the wireless network. The desktop will be the administrator, whereas the G4 laptop just needs internet access. there is one other PC, but that will be wired up.

The "network" is more for internet access rather than anything else, but I want to get this right.

Cheers for any help.
 
update time.

The wireless card in my pc works perfectly. Connected up to next door's unsecured network fine. Back to wired at the moment, however.

And now for my problem. My Aironet 340 access point seems unable to detect or to transmit the network. I just get the middle light of the three (the one by the boxed S), flashing green. Any ideas? I didn't have any documentation, and I can't find any.

cheers for any help.
