HELP!! AIRPORT NETWORKING
I have an ethernet network which consists of a DSL modem/router with four RJ45 connectors. I have an imac, ibook and G4 connected to three of them and the fourth via a crossover cable going to an ethernet hub (I can't get the hub to work, but that's another story)
I recently purchased an airport card for the ibook and an airport basestation. I plugged the basestation in to where the ibook used to be, followed the instructions and viola! I can use the ibook all over the house to surf the net and check my mail. Great. Amazing.
However, when I'm using airport, I can't connect to any Macs on the network!!! If I plug in an ethernet cable, change the TCP/IP and Appletalk settings to ethernet rather than airport I can see everyone... but with those two settings back to airport, I get an error saying that the servers I want to connect to don't exist!! Ack! What am I doing wrong???

<strong>I don't have an AirPort set-up in front of me right now, but it should be under "Network" in the AirPort Admin Utility. Just uncheck the box that enables the base to distribute IP addresses.</strong><hr></blockquote>
That worked perfectly! Many thanks! Another great day for manual avoidance!
