Trying to email a 6GB file is funny.

maybe make a torrent?

This isn't a question about OS X. tooki

Disclaimer: I should say first that I have NO experience with wireless setups or networking, so please take that into account and excuse any stupidity in the following questions. …

If the Westell modem has an ethernet port to connect the Linksys router to, then they are definitely compatible. Further, there are tens of thousands of people using this particul…

Hi Glenn, thanks for the input! Here are some images of my current (direct modem -> computer) connection that DOES work: Network settings: From the Westell configuration add…

Oooo-kay. I don't know why, but I hooked up the router to try again, and without changing a thing, it seems to work fine now. Makes no sense to me, but I'm not gonna argue. Thanks …

Here's part of what's happening. The modem IS acting like a router and assigning local addresses - to ANYTHING connected directly to it. Your Linksys router has apparently figure…

Hi, I'm new to macs and I need to know if there are any decent p2p softwares for mac users (not bit torrent, but something that uses eMule and gNutella like "shareaza"). Also sh…

P2P software (Gnutella, FastTrack, etc. networks): Acquisition, Xfactor, Poisoned, umm... there are other fine alternatives too. Search MacUpdate for "p2p" or perhaps a specific ne…

acquisiition works great for me! Limewire : destroyed my old dell (eww), and a friend swears his powerbook started falling apart since he started using limewire aswell

Hello, I have two macs, an older imac downstairs and a newer imac upstairs. Downstairs I have a speaker system (not connected to the imac, but connnected to an airport express ba…

You MUST have something to connect to the downstairs machine. You can do it wirelessly, or wired, or a combination of both. I think the Express will support you. Read the manual…

Thanks Glen, Do you mean I need a wireless adapter for the downstairs Mac? I will have an ethernet bridge to get it onto the wireless network. What I'm wondering is if the netwo…

The ethernet bridge will work well for you; I like these a lot more than USB devices because they tend to be better implemented (read: ethernet is a real standard you can't fudge),…

Ok, thanks again Glen, I'lll give it a go and see what happens. I've done this same thing wired, just wondering if it works the same way wirelessly. Thanks again

The point of wireless is that it should be the same as wired, except without the clutter. It should look and work just like a wired network, only without the wires.

The one thing that I hate about OSX is the fact that laptop users can not plug in a network cable to transfer files faster than wireless without rebooting or resetting the network …

You should try some troubleshooting steps. The Mac can do everything you asked just fine. Chris

I doubt it, When I boot up my powerbook with no network cable, just airport connected, I have a box running OSX.4 server that connects some network shares. If I connect a network …

Not sure what you are saying in the 2nd post, but I have a 15" Alu Powerbook here, connected to my G5 and a windows box (AFP & SMB) and I hop between ethernet and airport all t…

I understand what you're saying, but the reason it's happening is because you're going about it all wrong. Once you've MADE a connection (whether to a share, FTP server, SSH server…

Sorry, but windows does just fine swapping between network interfaces. It is embarrassing in the workplace when you get the beach-ball and try to explain that OS X rocks, but swit…

That would be quite embarrassing if it had ever happened to me… I think perhaps there is a problem with your computer.
