BTW, do I have to import the WLAN ID to FileSharing, or does it just have to
be active?

Hmm, very clear description, but it still does not work.
The Newton keeps searching forever. At first, the WLAN LED is very nervous,
and after about half a minute it gets tired and flashes only occasionally.

This may still be due to my AirPort 1.3.1, I will try 1.2 tomorrow.

Thank you very much,
