Hello Folks, Long time since i last posted here. Anyways, I am having problems or rather having issues about networking my PC with the MAC at home through a Modem+wireless router. I have been using a normal DSL modem since i switched to broadband 5 years ago. A Lucent Cell Pipe 20A USB. I finally decided i needed to change my modem because firstly the drivers werent updated any more and secondly the product is discontinued. I bought a new Wireless ADSL2 + Modem router. This is what i was told to buy as i had no idea of what i needed for the upgrade. Its a NETGEAR DG834G v3. Guess if you search on the netgear site you'll get the technical info for the product. I managed to get the internet working after like almost a day lol, because the system of a browser configuration etc is new to me. But these are my details to get you started: PC : 1 LAN Port, NETGEAR port 4 is connected to this LAN port of my PC MAC : 1 LAN Port, NETGEAR port 2 is connected directly to this machine. Now my question is, How do i share files from my pc to mac, as in i need a network drive on my mac showing me a specif folder that i share on the PC. I did this when i had a straight LAN wired connection from the PC to the MAC. Gave the PC an IP and MAC just gave itself one and i could mount the drive on the mac desktop. Now how do i do this with the current system i have with the new modem+router etc. Can someone guide me to a tutorial or write one here to guide me through this ? Plus it would also be helpful if you told me how to set up wireless  , i have wireless security disabled now and i guess half the people in my locality are connected on this lol. So i wanted to know what settings or what type of security should i choose so i can connect my Laptop or the MAC via wireless. I tried to put a WEP passcode and it generated a random key etc. but when i found the access point in mac and tried to connect and add in the key it says "error connecting" Without the password (disabled) it connects fine. Would appreciate your help alot. Thanks and regards Dhanesh.

Be sure to use WPA-PSK instead as it allows you to make your own password instead of having the system do a random code generation. WPA is safer than WEP too. Best to use WPA2-PSK if the router supports it. As for Mac to Windows sharing, be sure to follow this window properly:  xboxrulz

Extending A Wireless Network
Wireless Internet (2) Usually, to integrate WiFi capabilities into an existing LAN involves interfacing a wireless router
with an existing LAN and configuring it as an access point. If it is meant for free public use, then
it may not be necessary to encrypt the transmission, otherwise it is advisable to encrypt it with at
leas a 64-bit WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) key. Depending on the gain in db of the attached
antenna, the radius of wireless coverage can vary from 250meters to close to 450meters. Now comes
the stage where we need to extend the coverage of the wireless transmission, t....

Cable Internet Connection Requires Aol To Go Online?

thing is happening to his other computer (requires him to sign onto AOL first before he can
connect). After playing around with it for a while, Internet Explorer connected without

Can't Connect To Internet In Linux
Driver problem? (8) I am new to linux and just installed Kubuntu. I have windows XP on my master primary hard drive and

to do with ethernet adapter driver. I can connect just fine in windows, so I know that the actual
hardware isn't messed up. Windows uses the driver for Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Ethernet NIC.
I looked through google and help forum threads and it seems others have h....

problem. The modem connects to the computer using USB ONLY. It has an ethernet adapter in the back
of the modem but it will not work (needs the USB either way). After playing around more for over an
hour, I came to some "conclusion" that the other machines need the modem to be connected via ....

Server Slow On LAN, Fast On The Internet

correct) and set it to 26 digits for the password. Currently I'm using 128 bit en....
