Go into the admin for the router (192.168.1.1 is the default on my linksys) and turn WEP Encryption on. Set a passphrase which will generate some keys. Turn SSID broadcast off. Go to your PCs that access the network via wireless and use the passphrase you used in the router. That's about it.. Takes about 2 minutes to turn on and setup. Not exactly sure how you configure the Mac... As I have never used a Mac aside from the internet caf� in college. To make a printer sharable (in windows anyway) right click on the printer, sharing... Share this printer... Ok, ok, ok, close. Shared... Or something close to that.
