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…
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…
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…
