[QUOTE="Daddy Elmis, post: 206242, member: 16533"] Well, I installed an Airport Extreme Base and an Airport Express remote with excellent results. The process was a bit cumbersome despite the "assistants" and I ended up resetting the Extreme many times to go through the process from the start as the Extreme would be recognized. As has been written, the confusion comes, I think, from Apple deciding not to use industry jargon (e.g., SSID, access point, etc.) and use their own naming convention. I'm certain I ended up naming something wrong or using a wrong password (everything is called "name" and "password" whether its your ISP, the base, or anything else). System runs great everywhere in the house, but obviously each computer must be "active" (logged onto) for "sharing" to work -- unless I'm missing something. As an XP switcher, this is a bit disappointing as one of the benefits of a Windows ptp network was that you could retrieve a file off the den computer from the bedroom computer without having to go log onto the den computer. If there's another way to approach this, I'd be very happy to hear it. [/QUOTE]
