[QUOTE="Army_F_Body, post: 51128"] I am using my eMac as the wireless base to network with my WinXP laptop with a wif adapter. I can access my DSL through the eMac and my router tells me I am broadcasting (forgive me this is my first attempt to do this kind of thing) so I can only assume the base is correctly configured. The fun comes from the WinXP side. I am able to get the wifi adapter to accept the signal from the router and link up, however at this point neither computer can access the internet. I find myself wadding through a sea of incomprehindable Windows menu and options. Why can't Windows be as user friendly as Mac :rolleyes: When I give up in disgust and rebot my mac I notice I cannot get the internet back. I have to shut down my eMac and unplug my DSL modem and router for a couple minutes, then reboot everything. My goal is to be able to access the net from both computers. Is this possible with my setup? Thanks, Rob [/QUOTE]
