Hi, I know internet connections and specifically providers are a
recurring theme here, but I have a few very specific questions as I am
considering connecting to bigpond cable. Current set up is imac G5,
imac
snow (G3), PS2 and ibm laptop. Laptop and PS2 are not on network, and
imacs are hardwired together (length of cable running down hallway and
up stairs, not pretty!)G5 is on dial up. House has cable points (one
has
foxtel connected, others are not used, but are connected).
1/. How hard is it to "self install" bigpond cable wireless modems? (
the website says that self install is not supported for macs?)
2/. Does anyone know what the modem is that bigpond uses? ( there is no
clues on the website and I wonder if it is just cable in wireless out,
or whether there are also some actual output plugs?)
Hugh,
Look here and read all the faq's. There are a number of modem's
mentioned
Make sure you copy all of the url to you browser .
