Hi, I've bought a Apple refurbed Mac mini which came without Airport Extreme installed. If I buy something like the Belkin Wireless Network Access Point, I take it I can just plug…

I don't think that's the device you're looking for. This one joins your wireless computers with your wired network. Belkin offers this device which will plug into your mini's eth…

Thanks, I think I meant the adapter and not the access point. I'll probably go with the Belkin adapter instead of a USB device, as it seems the Belkin will be more straight forwar…

No problem. Yes, it will definitely be much easier to spend the money and get something you know will work.

Hi, I am a recovering DLink user. I have finally kicked the habit and having read many reports here, am going to embrace LinkSys... I want a wireless router with good range and …

good post i await any responses because i to am looking into a Linksys

I just have a regular WRT54G v4 flashed with DD-WRT. I can use it with speeds of around 3 MB/s anywhere in my house.

3mb/s isn't that a bit slow?

Tomchu said "3MB/s" which I take to be "three megabytes per second," while the 802.11g standard gives us a theoretical max of 54 "megaBITS per second." That is a theoretical max (…

After much searching on the web, I came across SharePoints, and this works. I can create new shares and make them work with SMB sharing. I just do a search on the XP laptop for w…

Here's the situation. I have two PB's. One stays at home. I have a LaCIE 500 GB external hard drive connected to this PB. I want to back up the files from a second PB onto the LaCi…

I have a similar set up, with various LaCie drives mounted on my G5 desktop system. If I want to read or write files on one of these external volumes over the network from my lapto…

THANK you! Worked like a charm. Really appreciate the help! John

You are welome. Glad to be of help. It's what these forums are for, afterall!

I've been reading around on how to make use of the FPT capabilities built into OSX. I'm kind of clueless, on this area. I would like to be able to remotely log into my mac at hom…

I use Interarchy to pick up stuff from my desktop system that I "forgot" to take with me to work on my MacBook Pro. A single-user licence is only $39 and it's really easy to use, a…

I'm trying to do the same thing, does it matter if the computer goes to sleep?

Do you need a static IP for this? I tried to set up my airport with a static IP (I read instruction on portforward.com) but, Comcast won't give me the IP for the DNS server (I thi…

A static IP is obviously preferable but most ISPs won't give you one unless you pay silly money for a business account. But if you are using a cable modem, running a LAN behind a r…
