Dead PalmPilot and Wireless Woes
[Back-dated from 10/10/03 to 8/21]
The new PalmPilot m125 was dead in the morning when I went to sync. Lost all data entered last night lost. Stretched the battery retainer clips to make sure it wasn't a loose connection since NiMH batteries are slightly smaller than regular AAA. Even putting in my freshly-charged spares showed only 50% power.
Termite inspection today.
Could not get my IBM ThinkPad X20 to access the home wireless network tonight. Finally discovered that a port on the hub was bad.
Found the reason I have not been able to get the iBook on the home wireless network. Our access point is configured to pass only specific MAC addresses and I had not added the iBook's MAC address. D'OH!
