Re: iBook says Airport card not installed when it is
Answering my own question ... I really shouldn't try to work on things this late. It pays to check and make sure the necessary extensions are active. D'oh! Everything works fine, now. Sorry to clutter the list. Regards, Bob Eye Dallas, TX --- Robert Eye [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just bought an Airport card for my son's tangerine iBook.

Trying the old card from the graphite iBook into the tangerine one gives the same Airport card not installed message. I tried zapping the PRAM to see if that helped; it didn't.

Re: iBook and Airport
I have a 700 iBook with Airport card, the family iMac is wired to the D-Link wireless router via ethernet and the iBook and wife's Dell use the wireless. The D-Link systems have worked very well and I have found D-Link to be more Mac friendly than Linksys. All you will need is a wireless router with ethernet and you can attach your BW and the broadband modem directly. Then your Airport card can be used wirelessly.

iBook and Airport
Just joined the list. I have ... Dual-USB, 500MHz G3 12 Ibook 640MB of RAM 10Gb IDE Hard Drive OS 10.3.2 ...that I just picked up from my father-in-law which I want to network to my desktop BW G3 and share a link to the 'net via my DSL modem. I am confused: do I need just a wireless router OR both a wireless router and an Airport Base Station (in addition, of course, to the Airport card for the iBook)?

Re: iBook and Airport
My girlfriend has a linksys--and runs windows on her network--- I searched for the router on my ibook airport. and bingo!!! what a breeze-- at home--I connect my apple station to a dsl---and then let my airport searches for it and found it also--just remember when connected via dsl--when you turn on laptop--the dsl terminal searches for your isp---and that is the one they will always look for--when the airport is hooked up to dsl--it is has its own isp--and that is the one the dsl is looking for-so you cant do both--its too confusing--but if the linksys works why connect dsl to laptop ever ? -- From: Joe Sleeper Reply To: G-Books Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 3:37 PM To: G-Books Subject: Re: iBook and Airport On Feb 24, 2004, at 3:23 PM, Seeker wrote: Just joined the list.

Using iBook as Airport ?server? for PC
Hi all- Hope this isn't too far OT, but it's definitely appropriate for PB's as well as the iBook on question. I have a G4 tower running OS X.2.6 that's hooked to my cable modem. It has an Airport card, which uses Internet sharing to act as a software base station to give my Wallstreet (OK, now it's G-book appropriate ;-) and iBook access to the net and each other. I brought home a Win98SE PC from work, which has a basic (ethernet) network card in it, and I'm trying to use the iBook as an Airport receiver, attaching the PC to the iBook by ethernet to share the iBook's wireless net connection. I'm hitting a wall (likely PC related...), so here are a few questions: 1. Do I use a standard ethernet patch cable to connect the PC to the iBook (which I used for all these experiments), or do I need a crossover cable (or doesn't it matter)? 2. I've tried setting the ethernet networking of both computers to DHCP, then tried manual/static IP but neither worked. Do I need to set DNS or gateway settings on the PC if I do this? See below for Apple tech document on this - I tried all this... only problem is that I don't know how to set the PC... Can anyone help?? Thanks! Marty Lindower [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.

You need OS X 10.2 on the iBook to get this to work, and don't want to vary it's Ethernet settings from the default. You'll need a crossover cable unless your PC's NIC supports Auto-MDIX (most don't unless you paid more than $50 for the NIC - then it's a coin flip). Not only does the iBook need a working airport connection and a working ethernet connection, but you need some way to tell the iBook to forward data between the two. that's where the Internet Sharing feature in Jaguar comes in. Given the complexity of what you're trying, i would strongly urge acquiring a LinkSys usb wifi dongle for the PC. You can find them at most places that carry LinkSys products (Fry's, Microcenter, CompUSA, some smaller outfits) for $40-50 or so. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
