[QUOTE="nebber, post: 49505"] I just purchased a 12" Power Book and airport express. At home, I have a Dell Desktop, running XP Pro, that is on-line via DSL (pacbell). I have been successful getting on-line from my PowerBook wirelessly via the Airport - the set-up is my DSL and Desktop and Airport Express are all linked via an ethernet hub (dummy hub). I am able to ping my Desktop on my Powerbook... however, i cannot see the Desktop from my Powerbook or see the Powerbook from the Desktop (for file sharing)... Any thoughts? I think i have tried a lot of things... Do I need another ethernet card for my Desktop or can i file share through the hub? Very Frustrating! Sharing the on-line access was so easy... file sharing has wasted many, many hours! [/QUOTE]
