Just for the record, it is extremely time consuming to crack WEP. It can take anywhere from an hour to a few days, depending on network traffic. On a simple home network the easiest way to keep it secure is to turn off SSID broadcasting and change the WEP key often.

The only thing that comes to mind is a ethernet-to-wireless bridge. If you move it around a lot though this would be annoying, because you would need a power outlet for the bridge and a network cable running to it all the time.

I can almost never find my PCs in the Connect to Server window. I always just type the ip. Same thing with my XP machine, for some reason I can't see anyone from my XP machine, so i just click run and type \\192.168.0.0 for example. or from my mac I would type smb://192.168.0.0

A router will share your internet connection quite nicely, and it will also act as a switch so you can share files. To share your printer you will need a print server. This depends almost entirely on the make/model of printer you own. If you have a printer with both USB and parallel port...

I have two TVs in my house. One is upstairs, and one is downstairs. My entire network is downstairs, but I have a basestation that reaches upstairs. I have an X-Box and my friend has an X-Box, so when we have LAN parties we have to move one TV downstairs. Is there any way I can bridge the...

I have an iBook and I just set up a docking station for it. I have been looking for a way to turn off the LCD display so I can use it with my larger desktop display. I can use it now, but both displays are on at the same time. How can I turn off the LCD? I have OS X 10.2.8.

I tried that, DHCP or any other ethernet configurations just would not show up. I didn't have any info saved on it, as its just a print server, so it seemed like a quick fix. I've installed many different operating systems many different times, so it is nothing new to me. My problem is not...

Well, okay for the sake of others that may have this problem I'll tell you what I did, but my problems have just worsened. I tried to reset the default network settings, but it still showed no ethernet configurations. Yes I am running through a DHCP router that automatically assigns IP and...

Okay, I have a 350mhz G3 system set up as a print server. It is running OS X Jaguar. It just stopped working on the network, so I opened up System Preferences and found that everything in the drop down for Configure under the TCP/IP tab are for Dial-up Modem settings. I have Built-in Ethernet...
