Hi,
Got an iMac 3 weeks ago (made the switch from my Windows pc when it finally died) and I'm quite happy I did.
Yesterday, we bought an XP based machine for my g/f (she doesn't like the iMac and we like having our own puters) along with a Linsys WRT54G router and a wireless adapter for her PC which is in the bedroom.
I installed the router and hard-wired the iMac to the router but I can't get the setup (192.168.0.1) to appear using Safari, I get "Safari could not open the page “http://192.168.0.1/” because the server stopped responding".
So, what do I do now? Why can't I access the setup page from my iMac? Should I install the adapter on the XP computer and do the setup (wirelessly) from there? BTW, we got ADSL...
Also, the router has a built-in firewall, should I turn OS X's firewall off?
Thanks,
Gemigene
