I'm having a real problem trying to figure out if this is a Mac
comfiguration issue or something in Earthlink's network
configurations.
I have a 20" G5 iMac running OS X 10.3.8 using Network Utility

So, not sure what came over me, but to my enormous dismay I put my iBook
to sleep a few weeks ago (which I normally *never* do), and when I woke

technologies)

I'm looking for a way to connect a Bondi Blue to the world, via 802.11b.
I have the Belkin USB adapter 6050 but the range is abysmal. Is there
any Ethernet-based 802.11 client? I read up on 802.11g bridging mode,

I have a windows PC with xp home, and a Ibook, OS10, connecting to DSL
through a  belkin wireless g router.  (PC is ethernet, Ibook is
