wireless networking issues
I have a refurb Mac Mini that I just bought. The AirPort connectivity is terrible in the office so I tried using a D-Link USB Wireless G adapter which works great.
The issue I'm having is that when I use the USB connection I can't connect my MBP which is using AirPort. Both machines connect to the Verizon FIOS Actiontec router and if both are using AirPort then I have no problems.
Also, Front Row will not work on the Mac Mini unless it is using AirPort.
Is there a way to get the two to see each other? Any ideas on Front Row?

-Try to put the router in G-mode only.
-Change wireless channel
To edit router settings u need to 'surf' to it, look up your computer's IP addres, if it's 192.168.2.2, then the router is 192.168.2.1 (the last number should be 1 to surf to the router)
If it asks for a password it'll probably be:
username:admin
password:admin
At least with my linksys...
-front row seems to relie on the built-in airport, there's probably no connection from frontrow to the usb wireless stick written in the frontrow code. Which is a bit weird because after all an internet connection is a internet connection.
-Unplug & replug the verizon modem/splitter, those things your internet service provider installed in your house.
