Re: re home net
Vicki, The graphite ABS cannot be used as a bridge. The ethernet port on the station is designed only as an uplink to your DSL/Cable modem. New versions of the ABS -- Snow and Extreme -- have a dedicated WAN port that allows bridging. Having said that, there's several inexpensive alternatives these days ($100) that you should be able to find at your local computer store that will allow you to bridge your network. As a side note, if you run an 802.11b (11 mbps) base station or client on your 802.11g (54 mbps) network, it will cause the base station to revert to 802.11b (slower) speeds. To take full advantage of the 802.11g protocol, it's best to ensure that all clients are 802.11g capable and running in full 802.11g mode. HTH, -patch P.S. Here's a webpage with more info: http://www.vonwentzel.net/ABS/Evolution/index.html Maybe this does not help, but the Graphite Base Station *can* be used as a bridge. I have one. It is set up with a checkmark on Enable Airport to Ethenet Bridging and with all options for Nat and Dhcp turned off. Granted, my setup is different than Vicki's, in that my base station is *wired* to the modem/router and my 'books connect *wirelessly* to the BS. Nevertheless, wired and wireless computers do connect to each other and to the internet. Whether this may also work the other way around, I do not know, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

SV: re home net
Hi, Forgive me for jumping in and if I am now posting about something different than you are talking about... Just thought that if it could be useful, it could save you a few bucks... There is a store on eBay that sells Wi-Fi base stations (802.11g) for around $24.90 or something like that. I have them bookmarked on my iBook, but of course I can't access that right now... But if you go and do a search on eBay, in the stores, you should be able to find something. If you can wait, you can let me know and I will find it as soon as I get the iBook fixed... Try searching for wireless router or something like that. I e-mailed them to ask about these routers, as a friend of mine was interested. They said they would work both for PC's and Mac's. I never thought you could get something like that for that ridiculous price... I paid a lot more for my airport express, but I am really happy with it and it was no work at all to set up... Can't remember the other specifics about it, e.g. how many computers you could hook up to it if you used it for a home network etc., but I am sure the listings gives these details. You can also get quite good prices for airport express/extreme on eBay... Of course I have no idea at all about the quality of these things, but I am sure that if you found the listings, and could post here about the type/brand etc., somebody would know...

Re: home net
I just went through a wireless gateway last night, and though it's not the same situation, I found that adding in the MAC connection address to have access through the wireless gateway helped. Maybe you need to add the desktop's connection address directly as an allow access setting somewhere.

I have tried to get the airport to connect to the Netgear but can not so the settings must be wrong somewhere,I have also tried the other way but get the same results. I can connect either the airport or the netgear to the cable modem and have all the laptops wireless but cannot seem to set the airport up to allow my G3 desktop upstairs to use it as an access point and join the rest of the network. If anyone knows the settings could you let me know. TIA vicki. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: home net
I have left the access card list open to any cards until i get this sorted! I can control the access for all the books from either but not from both! the base station and the netgear. I wanted to use the base station to bridge the gap between the wired ethernet port on my desktop to the netgear connected to the cable modem . But i keep coming up blanks when i test. I know there is a simple thing that i have missed to get the base station to see the netgear but i just keep missing it. any help. vicki -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I know there is a simple thing that i have missed to get the base station to see the netgear but i just keep missing it. any help. I'm not sure what you have. Is your netgear a switch or a router? Is it a wireless router? If they are both routers then you might be having trouble with conflicts. If one of them is a wireless router then use that and if you need more cable connections add a 4 (or more) port switch or hub (same thing). I don't know if this helps. I have a cable modem and use a Belkin wireless router for connecting 2 wireless pb's, 2 cabled desktop towers, another pb via cable and a laser printer. All can go on line from one IP via the router. The Belkin works fine with both the Airport and Airport Extreme cards. dan_A -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
