I've seen many cable modems that had ethernet AND usb, and I always laughed at the USB. But having ONLY usb. There's no excuse for that. This crappy AOL modem has no drivers or any…

If I had two airport express' attached (WDS) and two USB Printers (one attached to each airport express) ..... will I be able to see both of the printer's show up in the print set…

In order for any network device to be visible it has to have its own unique IP address, so there will have to be two IP addresses involved. As long as the two stations have their o…

I'm going to use two airport express' linked via WDS [instead of having two seperate networks]........ so it will be seen as one network. and with a usb printer attached to bot…

yes, both printers will show up - I have the same network. But I'm not sure about the windows printing.

The second base station (the one that is set to WDS and not connected to the outside world via ethernet) will get its IP address from the primary base station via DHCP, that is the…

I have a cable modem that allows connections through either usb or ethernet cable. The manual for the modem states that both connections can be used simultaneously. The USB conne…

I am trying to get an old Lombard powerbook G3 to share the internet connection through my powerbook G4. The way I have them set up: Airport Express connected to my cable modem. P…

If the Lombard is self-assigning an address, that means that it is not getting an address from the G4. Co you have to check all the parts of that connection... make sure that the e…

Hello Is anyone here using the BT Home Network 1200 with a G5 Powermac, the reason i ask is that i have a problem with it. Thanks

I'm going to use my Panther Server as a router. The en0 interface will connect to our T1 router while the en1 interface will connect to our switch. I have NAT and DHCP setup to pro…

From a security perspective... it provides a seperate "segment" away from your internal machines. You usually place high visibility machines in there (web, dns, ftp etc...). Th…

So, I would connect a switch to the T1 router, connect the web/email/Panther servers to it, then connect the other enet interface on the Panther server to another switch for the in…

That will work. Where's your DHCP? Still on the Panther?

In other words, what are the make and model of the devices you have identified on your diagram as "public" "firewall" "switch/hub" and so on? It's kind of important, because the c…

Also, list the functions each device has. If you have "server1", say what functions it does. Do that for any machine that may have any interface aimed at the internet.
