There isn't enough information so I'll guess some. I'm assuming you were connecting between the machines using AppleTalk. Netgear makes two wireless routers, the 314 which does send AppleTalk through the wireless connection and the 814 which doesn't. You can still connect using IP. You need to make sure the IP option is turned on on the Wallstreet in the File Sharing control panel. You will also need to know the iBook IP address to enter it in the Chooser on the WallStreet. The iBook can browse for IP AppleShare servers. Also if you are using DHCP issued addresses from the router you may want to change them to static addresses (either via DHCP or manually entered). -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
