[OPLINTECH] Macs, PSPs and Wi-Fi

[Karen Perone]

We just introduced public Wi-Fi at our library and if you have a PC 
laptop, you can surf with the pros. However, there seems to be some kind 
of issue with Mac books and other devices like PSPs (which I didn't even 
know had Internet capability).

We are an open network with no WEP and are using DHCP. For those of you 
with similar setups, are there firewall issues that seem to be different 
for Macs? Do they require a different port to be open for access to the 
outside world?

They seem to be able to attach to the network (full compliment of bars) 
but fail when trying to get an IP from the router. Thus, they can't get 
to the Internet.

Any thoughts?
