Thanks Harry. I wanted to avoid the additional cost of buying an Airport Extreme Base station if I could but need to control the wireless network with my G4 Mac. I am glad that I will be able to do that with the G4.
Would this configuration work? Instead of buying an Airport card for my G4, can I just connect it by USB as I have my DSL router connected now. Then I would only need to buy the Airport card for the GE Ibook and a card for the Dell? Is it possible to use another vendors card or connection to take advantage of the "g" technology versus the Airport Card's "b" technology? I really appreciate your help.
