Too Darn Much

[Jack Rodgers]

First I got the Merlin wireless card to work with my titanium. Then I 
installed VPC and got XP Pro running. Then I got my USB hub working and 
have my Samsung i300 hooked up for syncing, my iPaq 5450 syncing with 
XP. Then I bought an Epson 2200 to do photo printing and the archival 
matte is fantastic. I can print in both OS X and XP.

I had problems getting a dialup connection to work under XP.

I connected my 5450 with the Mac via its built in Bluetooth and could 
transfer files but can't get the connection to work with the 5450 
finding XP.

Tonight I played with my airport and without sweating my iPaq 5450 
connected via the built in wifi and Explorer began downloading web 
sites for me. Then I thought, why not try XP and the Airport. I found 
under the preference the Virtual Switch and selected Airport. Then I 
set the network to Virtual Switch under the XP settings.  And...now I 
can surf in Windows XP using my airport which is connected to the phone 
line even though I can't reliably, yet, connect to the phone line 
directly in XP.

OK, mind boggling time. I am currently downloading my web site pages 
via the Airport base station using both Windows XP Explorer and Mac OS 
X Explorer...

Just thought I would mention this for those who need to work on both 
Platforms...

G4 and getting 123.1 kilobits per second downloads...almost 4X faster 
than dialup. The salesman said it wouldn't work in a Mac...
