i'm trying to set up my old powermac as a dial-up internet and file
server... i want to be able to dial in from my macbook pro and get

I was trying a TRENDnet TEW-229UB 802.11b wireless LAN USB adapter on a
newer Mac and couldn't get it recognized.  I've tried WLan, as well as

I purchased the 1TB Time Capsule to replace an AirPort Extreme.  
Everything seemed to be working fine.  It took a while until my hard

AppleTalk printer connected to one of the Time Capsule's Ethernet LAN

Ok, so I've a non-techie friend (hmmm... sounds dodgy already :-D Do I
_really_ have a friend? Heh) who lives remotely so I can't easily visit
her. She has a Dynalink RTA1320 ADSL modem/router with one ethernet port
(and a USB port that is Windows only). This has been fine up till

I don't seem to see any difference in my wireless connection whether
it's on or off so what's it supposed to do? I use a Linksys WRT 301N as
my router. Thanks.

I'm trying to help out a friend who has two Macs on a network connected via
ADSL to the internet.  I should warn you in advance that I'm not a Mac
