The Windows box is just there for some low-traffic file serving. The need to connect to the Internet was to be able to keep it up-to-date. It won't be on all the time. Hence, I do not need a better solution. Since Internet Sharing gives me the option to set the WEP key one would expect it to...

I have local network that my Mac mini is connected to. Its address is 192.168.0.9. It has an internet connection through the LAN (gateway is 192.168.0.1). Now I want to share this connection via the built-in Airport card. I found a few articles explaining this. So I enable Internet Sharing...

Sorry, forgot to mention the software. I am running the latest software (OS, drivers, etc). I tried your recommendation and put it back to automatic - it seems to work. But it still seems strange that you can't connect via the Airport menu.

I set up my Airport Extreme base station with WPA and a 64 hex pre-shared key. When I try to connect to it via the Airport Extreme card in my PowerBook the connection dialog I access from the Airport menu does not allow me to enter 64 hex characters. It only recognizes 63 ASCII characters...

Well, if you tried to open your mind a little bit instead of accusing me of trolling and FUDding then you might be able to understand where I wanted to go with this discussion. I was at a local Apple dealer today since he got his first - and so far only - G5 1.6. It will take quite some time...

Maybe deception is not the right word, confusion and stupidity might be it, then. Anyway, having to buy a whole new G5 in order to get a Radeon 9800 Pro at 8x is a little bit too much.

Lucky you, still 3 to 5 weeks here on the standard G5 1.8...

I guess "troll" should be a candidate for the "Word of the Millennium" award. It is easy to find "proof" of what I said. Just go to ATI's web site and check out the feature list. You'd think they know what they are talking about. I got a Radeon 9800 for my wife. It supports 8x AGP. And so...

So I have been reading about the new G5 1.6 that are showing up here and there. Some guys convinced himself and seven others to cancel their dual G5 orders because the posted scores in some benchmarks don't really justify investing in those computers. He blames Apple because they constantly...

Sure, Aldi has spread throughout Europe, but it hardly is a Wal-Mart. They have some really good stuff at cheap prices. Here in Austria they are called Hofer because a tiny company holds the rights to the Aldi name. Anyway, on the street where I live we have an Aldi (Hofer). However, almost...

It is interesting that Wal-Mart was so successful in other countries. As far as I know they had big trouble in Germany. I guess they didn't adapt to the local habits. For example, they had to offer super-market type items (such as fresh fruits and vegetables) in order to make their stores more...

After the key is in the key hole the lift works when you push the red button. The little guy comes up. Now move the sign so that it points to the left. You have to click on the little guy that is in his way so he can ski down the hill.

VNC allows you to access desktops remotely. It works on Windows, MacOS and Unix. I think pretty much every combination is possible, e.g. accessing Unix from Windows or Windows from Mac. It looks like you log into that machine if it was locally. As was said above, VNC is a cheap alternative...

Not sure if this belongs here or what the issue is in the first place. I just noticed that the "New Post" image is not being found. The URL is: http://www.macosx.com/forums/blue_new/posticonnew.gif

All I mean is that when you go to www.macosx.com you automatically are redirected to the forums. This hasn't always been like that. I guess they wanted to have some news, rumours and other stuff as well.
