BTW, I meant MAC AirPort.
Are there any experienced Mac people out there? I am beyond frustrated at this point. I've set up my Air Port on my Mac OS to share the connection with my Next2 (i.e. my rip-off product) and the tablet scans, connects and then drops the connection.
DO I need to tweak the settings on the mac?
This is what I have done.
----> system preferences
-----> Internet Sharing
------> Share connection using Ethernet
-------> To computers using Air Port
----> Air Port options- I've secured the connection by enabling encryption WEP. I've tried both a 40-bit WEP key legnth AND 128-bit. I've left the network open. Neither worked. Can I use any character combination as a WEP password? Do I need to add $ at the beginning or anything Mac-y that I, being Mac illiterate to a point, don't know about?
I then wondered if I needed to enable Bonjour and "advertise" the Air POrt domain. NOTHING.
How do I do this? There has to be a way?
Is it the Mac or my tablet?
Please help me before I completely lose my mind.
Thank you so much,
