On my laptop on the icon where you access your network and check signal strength and all that good stuff there is an "option" I have NEVER understood: USE INTERFERENCE ROBUSTNESS.....now people, I thought I was dumb...and heck...maybe I am....but I did a Google on it! It seems like no one "gets" what the thing is? OK, PB folk....we have some smart people here....what the Dickens is that option???????????

It means that your computer will send out interference that only effects computers running Windows, preventing them from connecting to the wireless access point. You check that option when your buddy starts bragging about Vista.

(j/k -- I don't know what it does!)

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46

Sad part....you almost had me going! Good one!

Mac help says, "If you are using an AirPort Extreme wireless card and are experiencing network interference, you can use the status menu to turn on Interference Robustness."

I probably means that extra validations are done to avoid sending and receiving bad data.
