[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: Same Problems as everyone else

[Brian F. <yo...@ma...>]

Tom,

The "router" Richard refers to is not the cable modem.  As far as I=20
know, the cable modems currently available do not allow wireless=20
connectivity only traditional CAT-5 ethernet cable or USB.  If you wish=20=

to use a wireless ethernet card you must either use a wireless router=20
connected to your cable modem, a wireless access point on your network,=20=

or have set up another Mac (with an Airport Card) as a software base=20
station (i.e. Apple's term for a software based wireless router).

If you do not have any of these no wireless software or hardware in the=20=

world will connect you to the internet.  Unless a neighbor happens to=20
be running a wireless network and you are tapping into it.

Hope this helps.

Brian
