ok, got my new eMac and from what I've read and understood from you good folks this is what I need to do, let me know if I'm completely off base please:
To setup BS without airport card (or am I off base already?):
Plug an ethernet line into the G3 ethernet port and into the BS Lan. Plug the Cable Modem into the Wan on the BS. Run the setup utility (OS X) and configure the BS using the G3 settings.
Disconnect the G3.
Start the eMac and configure it to join exising wireless network (the newly configured BS). Then if I want I can use the ethernet cable to plug into the G3 without an airport card to join the lan? Hadn't planned on doing that but just curious...
thanks for all your help.
