Hi Everyone, I finally found a way to keep my wife from having to kill all my running apps, so that she can check her own email in OSX (and yes I know Panther will fix this - as demonstrated by S. Jobs). I polished off an older machine that can run 9.1 - and put it in her own room (we each have an extra room for our own shtuff in our house). Problem is, I bought a router to use with my cable modem and I am absolutely lost over how to configure this thing. Networking is one bad area for me, right up there with Unix. I love the stuff, but know nothing about it. Could anyone provide me with some help? Don't mind if you respond offlist or whatever. My wife's computer doesn't seem to be gaining any access. Basically I have the cable modem with signal coming in, sent to the router, then plugged into the back I have 4 outlets - #1 to my Ti, which has access to the internet. # 2 to my wife's machine running 9.1, no access to anything. It's a Linksys router.. Umm any more details? Help! :-) Bill Reburn Associate Member of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada : MB Chapter
