[iBook] Thoughts on wireless networking

[vwmai]

Hi,

We now are a three Apple family and all three computers are hooked up 
to the cable modem via a wireless router. The G4 is on the desk and 
connected via ethernet. The G3/233 iMac is connected via a Belklin USB 
wireless network adaptor and the iBook G3/900 has an original Airport 
11b card.  All the computers happily connect to the Internet. The wired 
G4 gets close to 6 megs, the Imac which is a brick wall and a few rooms 
away gets about 4 megs and the ibook at best is getting 3.2 megs even 
sitting next to the router. Not sure what's up there. Any thoughts?

The bigger questing involves networking the machines together. I would 
like to share files between the computers. I don't really have a lot of 
experience doing this other than going machine to machine via ethernet 
crossover cable. Are there any web sites dedicated to all the ins and 
outs of networking Apple computers via a wireless system that include 
the nuts and bolts as well as security topics? If you have thoughts on 
it that you would like to share I would be interested in hearing those 
as well.

Thanks
Chris
