Greetings, If I change "location" (under the apple) I can switch easily between the airport network and the ethernet network. I have an airport card in the mini and an airport express with my cable modem connected to it as my method of connecting to the internet. As I understand things (or more likely misunderstand), you can only run one network at a time, hence the "location" switching. Is there a setting where both connections (airport and ethernet) can be running simultaneously? I guess that is the basic question I have. Alternatively, have I configured my printer connection via ethernet incorrectly? Was it necessary to define a different location? Sorry to not have included all of the information necessary to make an informed response. I am beginning to sound more and more like an ignorant neophyte with every question I post. Ciao, Ken Is this already an Airport Base Station, or is it > an internal Airport card in his Mini? Ken? >
