install this on your primary mac and this will keep your bigpond cable connection alive.



I have just taken advantage of Telstra's recent offer of free Cable (not ADSL) Broadband connection. This was installed this week and I have configured it so that one of my PowerBooks shares the cable connection wirelessly. It all works fine. Nevertheless, I would like to have all PowerBooks portable, and take advantage of AirTunes, so I visited the Nedlands AppleCentre to enquire about purchasing Airport Express or Extreme. I was told that, due to some issue with Telstra firewall (?), Airport Express/Extreme was incompatible with Telstra Cable (not ADSL) Broadband and that, apparently, a DLink wireless base-station was required (as they had resolved the incompatibility problem). I found this puzzling since it was trivial to set-up one PowerBook to share the Cable Broadband.

I did a brief web search but could not find out more about this problem. Any pointers?

Cheers,
Paul
