[QUOTE="rs2sensen, post: 102164, member: 10090"] Ok, I'm afraid that my PC and Mac still aren't seeing each other. Do I need any other hardware beyond what I mentioned above (1 Westell Wireless Router, 1 PC (running Windows XP 2005 Media Edition) w/ no wireless card, connected to the router by ethernet, one 17" PB with airport)? Pretty much the only thing I have set up is the router is connected to the PC via 1 ethernet cord, and the router is connected to the wall by another cord. I have Verizon DSL and the router was one that they gave us. The wireless internet connection does work. As the PC doesn't have any built in Wireless, will it be able to recognize the PB? Is there Firewall settings that could be stopping it on the PC end? I have the crappy Windows Firewall and a Norton firewall up. I couldn't find anything selected that would seem to be blocking it. As far as printer sharing, how will that work once I get this going? I have a couple scanners and printers all connected to the PC by USB. [/QUOTE]
