Hi All...

I am currently using a Netgear DG834g 5 in 1 ADSL Wireless Router for my G4 Imac and with my Toshiba Satellite A70 or A100. I have managed to set up the Wireless Internet for both of them but I need to know how I can setup an internal network (LAN) and internet at the same time without using a computer to computer wireless network which only alows me only to internal wireless LAN.

I have already enabled file printer sharing on WinXP and Windows File Sharing & Personal File Sharing in my sharing preferences on OSX 10.4.6 but still no luck.

Any pointers or suggestions?

Thanks

The way to avoid the computer to computer stuff is to set the wireless router for "infrastructure" mode. This makes IT run the wireless network. It should be in this mode by default. When your computer detects the wireless network, it should offer to join that network, and when you join the appropriate settings are automatic so you should be in infrastructure mode (and NOT computer-to-computer or "Ad Hoc").

Now on to the OS X computer. It too should detect the wireless network, offer to join it, and make all the right settings for proper connections. NOW, you have to go into System Preferences and enable the correct level of sharing-that's up to you. I'll bet you are only lacking the sharing options right now.

Cheers!
