[QUOTE="dolphin01, post: 514180, member: 19703"] Found this article: [url]http://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=6443[/url] Is it really that simple?? That should work right? I know they said they would install the router to my computer but I don't want them to -- they are PC people and I don't want them screwing with my macs. From the article, it says to NOT download the CD - not needed for Macs and I'm sure these installers would do just that. What I'm not totally clear on is the hookup with cables..... "To begin, make sure that if you used the ethernet cable provided with the router for the intial configuration above, that you unplug the cable and plug one end into the back of your DSL or Cable modem (or other internet connection) and one end into the 'Internet' port on your router. This will allow your router to share your internet connection with ANY and ALL machines talking to your router, whether through ethernet or wireless.
