I have my 12" Powerbook 1.33Ghz with Airport using a D-Link DI-624 with WEP password and have no problems. A friend said he had a more powerful router that I could use. It's an A…

I'll address WEP later. First, how are you entering the password in your PowerBook? The "WEP password" is really a key, and for the entire rest of the industry defaults to hexade…

I need to access my home computer from work. I have a dyndns account and my computer is behind an Airport Extreme which is connected to a cable modem. I would like to use VNC and a…

Mac to Mac ? Or Windows to Mac ? I use Windows, Putty (open ssh client) and VNC to securly log into my home ibook.. I configured putty to accept all local connections on port 590…

Mac to Mac.

Ah, man, this sucks. Once your thread gets sent to the UNIX forum it's all over. It's the black hole of forums. It's really annoying when the mods do this. Asking a question abou…

Now that we're here, I guess. I've been playing around and I have made a little bit of progress. I fired up Apple Remote Desktop preferences and set it to allow VNC connections (I…

Well, I set mine up and it works fine. Your home machine (the one you want to tunnel to) needs to be set up with a fixed IP address and you need to port forward port 22 from the ro…

Well, with all the waiting I went and bought a Imac, now I am thinking about returning it and buying a MBP. I upgraded the RAM to 1 gig total, will the 512mb stick fit in the MBP …

Yes, the memory is the same.

I was going to say that you wouldn't be able to use the memory because portables usually use SO-DIMMs while desktop machines do not, but it does seem to be that they use the same m…

I bought an Intel iMac DIMM on eBay (it was the original RAM that came in the iMac, the seller had replaced it). It's definitly a SO-DIMM, and identical in all specs to the Crucial…

Before you jump on me, I did search for this, but didn't find the answer. I'm thinking about getting a laptop (yea! tax return!!) and in conjunction with that, I am thinking abo…

You don't need to connect the wifi ap directly to the cable modem. Just connect the APBS to a free port on your d-link, and disable nat/dhcp on the APBS. Should work out of the bo…

Pretty much what mduell said.

This is good news. Thanks. Anyone disagree with the above? How about the printer functionality? However, this may be moot if Citrix doesn't work. I just posted a question in …

By configuring your base station as mduell says, you turn it into an access point-it no longer does "router functions," but you already have a router and all you want is access poi…

Yes. By connecting the printer to the AirPort, and turning off DHCP and NAT (uncheck the "share a single IP address" box in the AirPort Admin Utility), you make the AirPort box si…
