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

that I think I will need a second Lan card because the internet PC only has one lan port. Next I use

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...

Server Slow On LAN, Fast On The Internet

Hey, Here's a weird problem I've encountered. On my test server running CentOS and Apache2
w/ the Apache2 Manual installed and accessible from the web, everything seems fine. So I access it

connection. To give you an idea of the speed, it's just a tweak faster than using MySpace during
peak hours. MySpace is still slower than my server though. But today at school, I try it and the
thing loads like it was on an OC-93 fiber line at a data center! AND- if I try to...

Cable Internet Connection Requires Aol To Go Online?

Just took a look at one of my user's computer and found a very strange problem. For some odd

if he is using AOL as his main connection, but he is using a dedicated cable service line. The same
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
AOHell's assistance. I made sure AOL was completely signed off and tried a few more websites and...

Lately, my computer's internet has been getting slower and slower. When I check the connections

another computer, it was also slow. The ping rate between my computer and the router is <1ms, so I
don't think its the router problem. From 500 kb/s, it changed to 300kb/s, 100 kb/s and now its
30kb/s. Could it be a problem with the ISP?...

network. But if i want to chat, or use outlook express, i've got to set a gateway on the ICS

the answer. I won't give up the cable because i also have 2 phone lines on it, plus cable tv,
but I will get a 256K DSL connection in addition to my 128K cable. The benefits of this will be that
it's double, plus i'll get the full 256K connection for myself without having to share it
with other users. (I explained previously about the 10to1 ratio used here in pakistan)...
