[QUOTE="WilliS, post: 26249"] thanks powerbook whiteshark... your in left field buddy :-p ill try to explain this again to you G5--------> -------------------------Airport-----> Jack in wall ---> my buildings network ---> my universities network iBook----> ok... my g5 and ibook are connected to the airport wirelessly. my airport acts as not only a hub, but a router too (able to split one connection, and fabricate me uh..up to 255 connections)... so both my g5 and ibook have local connections (ie 10.0.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 whatever) i can get online and everything... my university asks for 1 thing, my mac address....its a number specific to your network interface card, and its how you can keep track of everyone on your netork. in return they give me an ip address, gateway, and so on. i gave them the mac address of my airport, and they gave me my info, and i set the airport to have that ip and gateway. then when my ibook and g5 connect to the airport, the airport can send information to local addresses.... so it grabs a webpage ip, and routes it to my g5 local address... or my ibook local address..depending on which one im accessing the information from. where im having my problem is exactly what powerbook said... i can view only the computers "local" to me..which would be my own computers only.. because my address is 10.0.1.1 and the rest of the network is like 66.67.*.* ***edit*** i cant ask for help on something im not allowed to have on campus :P the admins dont allow wireless networks because of hot spots on their network which they want to prevent...pretty much anyone can get on the university network if they are close enough to a wireless connection.... except my airport is locked down....and no one can get on it without my password... so it really isnt a problem... but they still dont want them being used...so im kinda out of luck if i needed to go get help from my universitly computer department (plus they are just kids who need jobs...and they sit there and report problems.... i can talk circles around them just in the field of networking alone lol...they wouldnt have a clue as to what i was talking about) [/QUOTE]
