Help a noob w/ Mac home network!
Hi! I have three Macs: a MacBook Pro, PowerMac G4 Digital Audio, and an iBook. I'd like to get the MacBook and the PowerMac up and onto a network so that they can share two external hard-drives and a printer.
I have an Airport Extreme that currently connects the MacBook Pro (w/ Airport Extreme card) to DSL and a printer. The G4 is lonely and sad, isolated in the bedroom, and it would be great if it could get online and print. Ideally, the printer, ex HDs and the G4 would be in the bedroom, connecting wirelessly to the Airport Extreme and sharing DSL. My main question is this: should I purchase an Airport Card (original) for the G4 and connect everything that way, or should I purchase a wireless bridge (or router, or...?) and do it that way? And by "that way" I'm not sure I know exactly what I mean... I'd love to hear some suggestions on how to hook everything up before I purchase some gear and start dinking around. Very grateful for any bone you can throw my way... Happy to provide more details that I've cluelessly left out...! |
