There are a few wireless ISPs in the metroplex. Cable/DSL/Fiber/Etc not available where I am. Wireless is the way to go! Connections are through DHCP. 10.0.1.1 is the ibook, 10.…

You've renewed the G5's lease through the Network Preferences pane? If it's a server or gateway issue, that should fix things. I'd try an actual turn off-wait two minutes-turn on…

I've renewed the license a bunch of times...but I hadn't though of restarting EVERYTHING. The computer(s), yes...but this time I shut everything down AND unplugged the base statio…

Can't you set up the Airport Express as a client on the same network that the base station runs? Or is the signal from the base station not able to reach the Airport Express? If …

i'm moving to a new place with Adelphia broadband connection. they tell me i can buy my own modem to use. there are two computers in the home. one is a macbook pro and the other …

D-link DI-524 Newegg has it for $41 - $25MIR = $16 + $2 shipping. Connect it to your cable modem (WAN port), then connect your mini to it (LAN port).

Why would you want to buy your own modem? All the broadband I've ever had has come with a modem that they take back when I unsubscribe.

This belongs in Networking. Further, Adelphia is a U.S. cable provider, and most cable providers "lease" the modem to the user. Why not just pay a relatively small amount once in…

With the modem, you have little choice. Buy whatever basic model Adelphia says you need (they're $50-80 last I saw). Don't buy one that includes a wifi AP in the modem (can't upgra…

Linksys and Netgear (twice!) have both had brain-dead security holes ("super"). Many people like the Linksys WRT54G because they can load different software on it, but I'm very ha…

Would something like this offer the same features as an AirPort Extreme at a lower price? http://www.usr.com/products/networki...es&sku=USR5461 Would the printer sharing confi…

Range and performance depend on so many different variables that it is impossible to say which one works better in all cases. I would look for a device that offers external, high-…

how do i add an access point? i'm moving into a 5 bedroom, 2 story house. i'd like to be able to walk aorund the house and at any point have my macbook function with a nice conn…

Adding an access point is as simple as pluging it into a LAN port on a wired router. You still have to set up the access point, but you do that via the network. And most likely y…
