LowEndMac user yes but a Luddite of any sort, no.

I use the older model Asante b wireless router with the 2

location inside the house that goes through two exterior walls to get 
to the router.  I originally used a SMC Barricade wireless router 
which wouldn't work through those walls.  The Belkin router I have 
now does work to that location.

I bought a D-Link 614+ wireless router here in my office and it 
works fine for some things, but it does not support appletalk

sometimes say they are Mac compatible (and they are at the TCP-IP 
level) but you have to read the fine print to see which of their 
products support Appletalk---if you have old machines or printers 
and need it.


Neither of the routers I bought support AppleTalk although IIRC they 
both claim to.  The SMC almost did, it would pass the Zone info but I 
couldn't access anything.  The Belkin seems to only support on the 
LAN which pretty much any of them will.  You have to be careful when 
checking for that issue.

For print servers, many of the old Asante routers have a print 
server port that used to only work with Windows or Postscript 
Printers, but now it works with OSX.3. on some other 
printers--depending on the driver and whether the printer has a 
parallel port.
I just set up an HP 5850.  It works wired or Wireless and is IP so 
the lack of AppleTalk isn't an issue.

It works on some cards and not others. It also works for some people 
and not others, even with the same cards. I tried it with a Proxim 
Harmony card and couldn't get it to work, even with multiple 
re-installs of the software (that's one of the trouble shooting tips). 
The card would work with the IOxperts driver, but I didn't know if it 
was worth another $20 to me. I have also used the sourceforge driver 
with a WaveLAN Gold card in my Titanium, it works fine when I'm out of 
Airport range, which is only about 30 feet. Basically, you can install 
either driver and try them out. The IOxperts one will work for 30 
minutes at a time, so you can see if that's a possible solution for 
you.

The only internal option for iBooks are the Apple cards. They don't 
have PCMCIA slots either, so if you want to try something different it 
would have to be a USB adapter, which I believe is questionable as far 
as Mac drivers.

I have the D-Link router and a 16/600 also (great printer). The router 
doesn't pass AT wireless, but you can print to the 16/600 via IP, which 
is how I have it set up. You have to be in OS9 to use the Laserwriter 
utility to check/change the printer's IP address, but printing works 
fine via Airport in my TiBook. Well, as long as I'm within 30 feet of 
the router, since the reception is so poor on these.

How do you do the configuration of your base station? I'm looking to replace
my older graphite base station, but I'm a bit concerned by 3rd party
solutions in part because of compatibility issues. With an AirPort Base

Laurent, excuse me for getting on the subject, but i have had a

Base station. You configure it using your browser, and the phone
support is fantastic, and i should also mention that it's valid for
life, not 90 Days. Works with any Apple Airport Card. Great solution
and the coverage is somewhat broader than the original Airport. work
great under OSX and 9.

Mike,

I don't know what is exactly a Dayna Ethernet, but what you need is an
AppleTalk to Ethernet bridge, like the AsanteTalk (which has been
discontinued a while ago). Basically, that bridge takes incoming AppleTalk
packets on LocalTalk cabling (that your PLW uses) and encapsulate them on
Ethernet, so they become EtherTalk packets. The bridge also does the
reverse, it takes EtherTalk packets from Ethernet, removes the Ethernet
coating and send them onto the LocalTalk cabling as simple AppleTalk
packets. So, the device has one connector for LocalTalk and one connector
for Ethernet. I had one that I used with my previous PLW NTR and I was able
to see the printer from my Pismo wirelessly.

-Laurent.

Re: airport alternatives for Wallstreet?

 From: Kent Wieland [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Has anyone had success using any of the Airport-alternatives, such as
 D-link, etc...?  I'm interested in setting up a wireless network for my Imac
 and Wallstreet from my cable modem.  Ideally, I'd like to get a combination
 access-point and router to connect the Imac directly via ethernet and the
 Wallstreet by PC Card.
 Could anyone recommend brands/models for both the access-point/router and PC
 card?  BTW, I'm using OS 9.1 in both computers.
 Kent (digest mode)

Kent, I am using a Linksys Wireless router. I have a Lombard with a
MacWireless pc card, an Ibook with an Airport card, an Imac with a
Macwireless.com usb wireless adapter and a hardwired Mac 6116 and Starmax.
Microcenter is having a sale on the Linksys so others probably do as well.
No problems so far. The Linksys router is about the onl Mac they support.
Don't get their car or anything else that requires drivers.

Hope this helps,

Check out Macwireless.com.==

MacWireless enables almost all Macintosh models to connect to a wireless
network, no matter how old or new these machines may be. If you have a
PowerBook 190, 5300, 2400; or if you have a desktop PCI system; or if you
have a machine with a USB port such as an iMac, now you also can have a
wireless network connection.

I am using their pc card in my lombard and the usb adapter with an Imac,
Both work flawlessly, have not had a problem.

I briefly owned a Wallstreet (used, had other problems and I traded it in);
used it with an Orinoco/Agere card and an AirPort; from all I've heard, you
should have no trouble using it with other Wi-Fi transmitters, too.

Good luck!

Re - Airport alternatives.

2002-11-19 Thread Stuart Saunders
I have a non Appletalk unit I bought from the manufacturer (Pheecom) 
here in Taiwan, which works well as internet router. However I need the 
Appletalk so will change soon. I notice SMC Barricade is $80 with rebate 
(yanks only, dammit) at tiger direct. SMC claims an amazing 1155 ft 
range, (albeit at lower data rate) vs others 100 foot range, so I might 
buy it here at about $115 equivalent.

Anybody have good / bad experience with this unit?

TIA,
Stuart.

 D-link, etc...?  I'm interested in setting up a wireless network for my 
 Imac
 and Wallstreet from my cable modem.  Ideally, I'd like to get a 
 combination
 access-point and router to connect the Imac directly via ethernet and 
 the
 Wallstreet by PC Card.

 Could anyone recommend brands/models for both the access-point/router 
 and PC
 card?  BTW, I'm using OS 9.1 in both computers.
