Ben (and all knowledgeable others out there), I'd love to try a software based solution in a tiny wifi network( my wife and I scenario) but have had a heck of a time finding any good, detailed info about this on the net. Ideally, I like to share our DSL connection that is wired to my destop G4 (10.2) wirelessly with her bronze power book running 9.2 using the wavelan card I recently bought. I think I need a airport card and I'm guessing that it could be one of the old (not extreme ) ones. But I'm not sure...
All told, I have no real grasp of networking anyway - it makes me feel like someone threw me back into 2nd grade and I'm failing ! - but this setup would be great for us. Any useful pointers or links would be much appreciated.
