Re: PC and Mac on the same wireless network is simplicity

[kochkodin]

I would reccommend getting a Belkin card for the PC...I am running 
Airport base (graphite) on a Verizon dsl modem.  The systems are an iMac 
se 400, a Pismo, a Dell desktop and a Gateway desktop.  Just added the 
Gateway a few weeks ago...had a new Netgear card in the Gway that just 
wouldn't work...exchanged it for a Belkin card and it took right off and 
the whole thing works great...No dropped signals etc.Running XP on the 
PC's and 10.3.7 on the Macs.  Now I need to figure out if I can hook up 
an HP all-in-one printer/scanner/fax to work wirelessly.

Mike K

I currently have a limited wireless network- my Slot loading iMac is 

networked to an Airport Extreme Base Station via an ethernet cable and
my iBook connects via airport extreme.  In the coming days I'd like to
add my desktop PC to the list by giving it a wireless card.
What I'm wondering is, will the firewall on the base station still work
with the PC added?  Will there be any incompatabilities adding this PC
to the system?  In the end, there might be a second PC added to the 

network, but I'm not sure yet.  Any feedback or prior experience would
be of great help.
Thanks,
Brian
