I'm attempting to set up a home network to do some development on the Handspring.

I can't seem to get the Apple Airport and Xircom Wireless Ethernet Springboard to play nice. I read somewhere the SSID is the last six digits of the Airport ID and and the name of the Network... anyone confirm this? The manual is useless... Do I have to setup a peer to peer? Or can I continue to allow the Airport to act as a gateway to my ADSL provider?

I'd very much appreciate any assistance anyone can offer.

I hate being bleeding edge.

Yeah, I would like to know also

I don't have a Xircom Wireless Ethernet Springboard. But I would like to know the answer.

I have a Airport and setting it up with a cable modem was a pain. Yeah, I have to agree the manuals suck.
Did you contact Xircom or Apple?
Maybe you already tried that.
Someone will give you an answer.

Try resetting everything to default settings, and then change only the SSID and disable Power Management. I was having a hell of a time trying to get mine to work, trying all sorts of stuff. But then I heard about the power management thing and it worked in seconds!

ssid

the ssid is the name of your network. YOU gave this name during the setup of the apple airport network.

you can see it by opening aiport under the apple menue -> choose network.
