[QUOTE="ddzc, post: 25311"] Hi everyone, very nice site you guys have up Anyway im installing a card for an emac. I was told that a WUSB11 Wireless USB adapter works fine with it. When I put the card in, an icon appears, and a menu appears. There's 1 option available stating "open internet connections" A window pops up and asks about a VPN (L2TP over IPSEC) to be configured. Under that theres an option to click to configure the vpn or configure (other) Under that you have to type the server address, account name, password. Then theres a checkbox to show vpn status and menu bar (deafult checked) Then theres a connect button. Can anyone help me configure this card and get it working with my router? Any instruction or steps on everything would be great. Especially with the username and vpn. Does vpn have to be installed and what does it do? do I just make an account name up? btw the router is a lynksys 802.11b More details... The router is connected to the main pc, and the net works fine off the router b/c I put the network cable in the router instead of the card installed on the pc. It's setup as 192.168.1.1, subnet 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway is the one that my internet was using, some weird number. The MAC pc which isn't working is setup as 192.169.1.3, 255.255.2550 and gateway as 192.168.1.1. DHCP is not installed, static was chosen. The setup CD that came with it loads, but I can't access any files in it. Is it possible to install pc drivers in a mac os-x? Anyway, sorry about the long post but any help would be greatly appreciated b/c im new to the mac world :) Thanks everyone [/QUOTE]
