after 3 days of no sleep and many system resets i come to you all. i have a xp pro machine and a ibook. i have a wireless card in the ibook and am using my airport as a router. i use my pc for drafting architectural drawings. i commute 1 to 3 hours from my house daily. i needhelp and instructions to be able to use remote desktop for my xp pro machine with an airport. if the xp por machine is plugged straight into the cable modem no problem. if it is plugged into the airport it pulls a 10.0.1.3 ip address which is useless to remote access.

when i call apple they tell me that the $300 overpriced router i bought can do this if i pay them just $200 dollars more. then they tell me that they dont have any documentation on their knoledge base showing how to do this in detail (this is true!) i know it can be done because i know otr people who have lynksis routers doing this. if i have to break down and buy a lynksis router it will still be cheeper than apples $200. but how would i do this on either routers. i dont want to have to spend anymore money. i am a struggling to pay the bills as is.
