I've seen threads like this before but can't find anything, so here goes ..

Ok, I finally got an airport card for my iBook and a Netgear mr814v2 wireless router connected by ethernet to my G4 MDD.

I'm loving the wireless network at home, but the only bummer is I'm still on dialup and will be for a few months yet. I'd like to be able to dialup on the MDD and have wireless internet on the ibook .. anybody been in this situation before, or got any idea how I could set it up?

I would even be happy to use Remote Desktop to control the MDD from the sofa and view the net on the iBook, but when I dialup the IP changes on the G4 and I can't control or view the G4 from the iBook anymore.

What to do?

You have to switch the router to bridge mode (NAT off), turn of internet sharing on the MDD, and set the iBook to get its connection by DHCP (probably already is).

Hey thanks for your help. It works great now.

Just to elaborate for anyone who cares .. to switch the Netgear mr814v2 to bridge mode you simply unactivate the DHCP server. I plugged the MDD (which has the dialup connection) in to the LAN side of the router (nothing in the WAN side). Then to get it to work properly I had to give the router an IP which was in the same subnet as the MDD and wireless iBook.

Now it's flawless, and doesn't have the bug anymore where it would lose the wireless network every couple of hours and need to be reset.

Coul you elaborate a little more? Like, what is, "give the router an IP which was in the same subnet as the MDD" ?
