Wireless Networking Help Available
Greetings, We see a lot of WiFi questions on this list. I was reminded today about a resource that I had completely forgotten about. It should help anyone trying to figure out what to buy, how to set it up, how to work through post-setup problems, even wireless security issues. Take Control of Your AirPort Network is in PDF format and very low-cost. Just about everything that Adam Engst and/or TidBITS offers is quality stuff.

Re: wireless networking
Contact your DSL provider to see if there are requirements for installing this modem. Or, pick up a hardware router and enjoy the benefits of the hardware firewall and easy setup. Also if you want to connect other computers it's a snap. My recommendation is the SMC. They provide Mac support and have an excellent warranty. On 3/21/2002 2:16 PM, Alan C.

Dick, Are you saying that if I put a router between the modem and the comp, I'll have no problem with the setup? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

So would I need to buy a base station and a pci card for the g3 beige? Kate Mitchell J Laurren-Ring wrote: Pismos can take Airport, G3 beige cannot.

Re: wireless networking
You can use the Airport software to setup a machine as a Software Base Station, as opposed to purchasing a Hardware Base Station. However, I'm not aware that a G3 beige desktop or a Pismo can hold AirPort cards.

I'm assuming the Pismo would just use an airport card, but what would I need to do to the older machine? It seems to me I've read that I don't need a base station for just the two computers. Is that correct? If so, how do you get them to communicate once cards are installed? Thanks for the help. Kate -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
