Question posed:
"Can you please explain to me what a mac address means and what bridge connections mean?"

Brief Answer:
A MAC address is simply a way to identify hardware...it is a mixture of numbers and letters (12 in total) it can be used to identify a machine, a LAN card, a printer, etc...when you bridge a connection you are connecting two seperate connections into one, or two physical medium's into one

You're a legend mate. I finally got this WEP thing to work. Everytime I turn the wireless on, it asks for a network key. Thanks
