How do I add another computer to my wireless network

My brother from Calgary is visiting me with his older MAC book Pro and we cannot seem to get him set up on my wireless network. I am using DLink wireless router with Airport.

Hi Brenda,
Can his Mac "see" your network?

What is an access point? How do I allow another computer on my wireless network?

First of all a basic question, what is an access point? I am trying to allow another computer to access my wireless network and have no idea where to begin. I have seached the Linksys product support website, but was not able to find the help I need and am confused as to what to do. The home computer that my router is setup up to is running Windows Vista. I want to be able get on the wireless internet at my home with my work laptop, which runs Windows XP SP1. I am new to having a router, and would greatly appreciate any help.

Hi Radeksgirl,
A wireless access point is where your wireless computer would connect to in order to be able to access the internet wirelessly.
Linksys wireless routers are also wireless access points, so you can connect a wireless computer to it.
In connecting wirelessly to the router or wireless access point, it would depend on the wireless utility used on your wireless computer.
Click here for an example on connecting a wireless computer to the router.
Hope this helped :-)
Good luck!

Just to continue this in another vein somewhat..i found a google search call HAHA google search html document on my computer desktop. I had enable for a short time, the google chatback feature on one of our websites and accessed it through gmail. Was it done through there and is there a way to protect against that kind of thing?
Since this appears to have nothing to do with Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, I'd suggest you ask in a more appropriate forum, perhaps the Mac OS X Networking forum. You'll be more likely to get opinions and advice on this issue there.

How do I add another computer to my account to authorize

How do I add another computer to authorize on my account list so I can use or redeem my gift cards and use my store credit?

You can authorize up to 5 computers.
To authorize you need to install iTunes on the computer to be authorized:
Open iTunes
From Store in the menu bar, choose Authorize This Computer. (If the menu bar is not visible hit CTRL-B).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

How do I add a password to my wireless network

Hello,
First time posting to the board. So, in advance, thanks for you time and help. I am a computer idiot..not proud just realistic. I have read other posts and I just get lost in them as I do not have a strong working knwledge of computer knowledge. So, after reading on the linksys help pages, I have become even more confused. Basically what I need help with is just adding a password to my wireless network so the laptops in my house are the only ones that can use it. Probably a very basic question, but any help would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks,
Jeff

To set up wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
Next, leave the router at its default settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor (see note below)
WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=893357 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
Note:
WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

HT202213 how do i add another computer to my itunes account, system says i have five athourized devices and have to deauthourize one of them or all. if i deauthorize all, and then reauthorize the current devices, will i have to change my apple id and pass

how do i unauthorize all computers and reauthorize without fear of losing all data, personal, and account settings. Apple says I have five already as i count four and want to add another

No problem, just "deauthorize all" and then authorize the four individually. You will lose nothing - except the ability to "deauthorize all" for another year.
Don't change your Apple ID.

How do I add a computer to an existing network?

I have an old g5 tower connected to an airport extreme that is connected to a cable modem (time Warner). I need to add an additional g5 tower in there somehow. Not sure how to do this. Tcp/ip settings?

Well, you need to either:
Purchase a router.
Purchase another Ethernet adapter, and turn on Internet Sharing over Ethernet.
Purchase a WiFi card, and turn on Internet Sharing over Ethernet.

How to add another Computer to my Apple TV?

I've had my apple TV for a while and really like it. If I rember correctly it used to be easy to add another computer to my Computer list on Apple TV. But for some reason I can't seem to do it anymore.
I intend to take my main home imac down for maintenance over the weekend. I run my itunes library from an external hard drive.
What I want to do is take my external drive with my itunes library and connecvt it to my macbook and run my apple TV from there while my main imac is down.
I thought that if I launched the itunes on the macbook, then enabled homesharing then my macbook would appear on my apple TV compuers list and I could just select it..
But it doesn't!
Any ideas?
One thng that it maybe is that my apple TV is connected to my imac via a physical eithernet.
Would it make sence to diosconnect that and go WiFi and then see if my apple TV picks up the macbook?
Thanks for any advise!

Is the MB setup with the same home sharing ID as the iMac? It should make no difference whether you are on wifi or ethernet, in fact any issues with discovery are typically related to wifi.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you mean another computer. Set up homesharing on the second computer using the same ID and password that you used for the first computer.

HOW DO I ADD ANOTHER EMAIL ADDRESS TO MY ITUNES. WHEN A PURCHACE IS MADE SEND IT TO 2 EMAIL ADDRESSES

how do i add another email address to you i tunes account

Thank you so much for tolerating the confusion I created for myself. YEA
About the "enter email address" ... gee, how did I think Firefox was going to be able to communicate with me?
So... I go to the AOL mailbox, sign in as usual, the little box is coming down, and I click on save ... ah ha
If I am on another computer, I will open Firefox ... enter the master password ... and move on as usual? ... because all this is on Firefox servers.
Small confusion ... scenario ... I am to work on a computer without Firefox installed, and I may not install it. What do I do (say, to get on Yahoo mail) or anywhere else?
Thank you many many times.
