Alrighty here's a question for you techies out there. Say if I were to get one of those Aiport Extreme bases and use my TiBook to wirelessly surf. Is there any chance that I could hook another computer into the base (into the LAN port) and have that computer also on the connection? The other computer is a PEECEE (needed for a class) and I really don't want to pony up the dough for another wireless nic when I'm not sure how long I'll have the machine. Would it be able to receive a private IP via DHCP? Anyone try this?

    it should be able too, I'm not sure tho, just set the PC to to Assign an IP address automatically, because I think the base station acts does all the IP addressing. And it should work.

    Yes. Plug the PC into the LAN port, and DHCP will do the rest.
