Just thought I'd share my experience as I thought it was pretty cool. My network setup before was [Cable Modem] -> [Wired Router] -> [Wireless Router] -> [Airport Express…

The "how" is simple; by changing to only using the wired router's DHCP server, you went from having about three different networks (separated by their own DHCP address ranges) to h…

As my sub states, I was wondering if you guys thought that it's safe/reliable to open files from one computer on another when connected to it on the network. For example, I have w…

Yup. I do it all the time. As long as the computer that hosts the files is reliable, there's no problem. Of course I always recommend that ALL computers and the networking equip…

Thanks!! Since I know that it's safe, I can now enjoy running my files off the powerbook onto my powermac using the cinema display. To think, I used to 'download' it to the power…

Any reason not to use BitTorrent?

In terms of what? If you don't cap the upload/download rate, then it can start to use a lot of network resources, which can annoy others if you are on a shared network. If you ar…

...and you have to trust that the source of the torrent you download hasn't either messed it up or added crap to it to mess with Windows users. It's a big gamble.

Even if the adulteration doesn't hurt your Mac, it can and often does completely hose up whatever media it's embedded in. So you spend some time downloading what you think is the …

Since we are on the topic. What about gnutella/limewire or other P2P services. File corruption is obviously oblivious to the method of download, but what about tracking and securit…

For a torrent to be corrupted, it has to be corrupted at the point of the original distribution or later redistribution. Once it's out there and everyone has copies they're serving…

Hi, It seems like I have tried everything and just cannot get this to work. I have my dsl modem connected to my airport express. My mac G5 can connect to the internet fine, and …

You have to tell us a great deal more about how your AirPort Express and the Windows computer are set up. In particular, what kind of security are you using-that's often the bigge…

lets see - mac under "sharing," i have both personal file sharing and windows sharing checked, i have firewall turned off, and i have internet sharing turned on - it says "sharin…

Can you ping anything from the PC? (Use "Command Prompt" like Terminal and issue a ping command for something like www.macnn.com.) Oh, and what OS update is the PC running? If i…

Hello~ I've configured a linksys wireless router to a pc. I'm having problems with my mac finding the signal though... do linksys products work with macs?

Welcome to the MacNN Forums. Yes, any and all standard-conforming wireless products work with Macs. I'm using a Linksys wireless access point to connect my wife's iBook right now…

Hello! Thank you! The high speed is wireless from a tower to receiver and comes in on coax. We have a LinkSys Wireless-B Ethernet Bridge WET11v2 . We have two older iMacs (slo…

If I get this right, all you have coming into the house is a coax, is that right? You should have some other box, either supplied by or specified by the ISP that provides the towe…

OK...so I do need to hook the COAX up to the bridge. What do I need to buy? Two more bridges (instead of airport cards) and one router? I did set the bridge to X (PC). The br…

Sorry I missed your question. Right away I noticed that the bridge did not come with an antenna. So yes, I did hook the COAX up to the antenna port without realizing it! -W

After reading this: http://www.wifinetnews.com/archives/006160.html I'm wondering if the Airport Extreme Base Station is the way to go until Cisco is able to come up to par? I'm…
