Configure the Netgear to do the login/authentication to your broadband account. Set up PC and Mac to get their IP address via DHCP (Netgear should be running a DHCP server). Netgear should be should also be providing NAT services (sharing ISP assigned IP address with all computers on local LAN). Or is your question, where can you get an Airport card? That would first depend on whether you need an Original Airport card, or an Airport Extreme card. Airport Extreme cards are available from Apple, and other Apple resellers (and I'm sure eBay). If you need the original Airport card, then a Google search for "airport 802.11b card" turns up a bunch of matches, plus you should be able to find them via eBay. Another option might be a WiFi/Etherent bridge box (access point) where you can position it close to the Mac and plug the ethernet cable into the bridge. Bob Harris |
