D-link has this box. Takes one ATA hard drive internally and up to 2 more external USB drives. Connects via gigabit ethernet or wifi.

I have weird question: The set up: My iMac connects to my wireless network via built-in Airport. I have a PC running (you guessed it) XP; I only use the PC to do win apps and tes…

airport and ethernet are separate connections, you can have them both running and used at the same time.

What that is, is another person has a wireless access point and when your wireless card scans for access points it sees all the avaliable ones that are broadcasting an ssid. The f…

As shiff says, if it's just showing up as an available network, you have no real concerns-except maybe to change your own network to some non-default channel. That may even get yo…

I changed the channel my router uses and it seems to have resolved one issue and helped to ease some of my concerns. This "Cornerstone" that kept appearing was using channel 11. …

Is there any software tools one can use to view who is accessing or using a wireless network?

euphras, are you talking about an Orinoco card or an AirPort card? The latest AirPort update should upgrade just about all AirPort cards to handle WPA...

I´m talking about the Orinoco one. The original Airport cards are going for over 110-120 bucks on *bay Germany these days.

That's interesting the original Airport cards can be upgraded to support WPA. I would've considered one of them for my PowerBook had I known that.

There may be some particular models that just don't have the components to upgrade, but they should also be pretty old ones... I was first surprised at their upgrade potential whe…
