How to connect a mac wirelessly to a pc?

My husband's pc is currently hooked up to the internet using a cable modem. I'd like to wirelessly connect my G4 imac but can't seem to figure out how to do that. Does his computer need a router and mine needs an airport card? Thanks for any suggestions.

gdbabe, Welcome to the discussion area!
The simplest way is to get an inexpensive wireless router. Connect the cable modem directly to the WAN/Internet port on the wireless router. Connect the PC to one of the LAN ports on the wireless router.
If you want your iMac G4 to connect wirelessly, then yes it would need some type of wireless connectivity.
If the clock speed of your iMac G4 is 700 or 800 MHz, it requires the original 802.11b AirPort card. It is NOT compatible with the newer AirPort Extreme card.
If the clock speed of your iMac G4 is 1 GHz or above, it requires the AirPort Extreme card. It is NOT compatible with the original AirPort card.

    I tried creating a network, but after that, I can't connect the internet.

    If each Mac can get on the Internet, without re-wiring, your network is already in place.
    Do not create a Network. If you did, you will need to tear that down before proceeding.
    Enable File Sharing on each Mac, NOT Internet Sharing.

  • Well I bought a WiFi router. How to connect old Macs and other things??

    Hi,
    I purchased a WiFi router mainly for my PSP but I also want to connect my Macs wirelessly to my router. What older Macs can connect to it and how? What other stuff can connect to it?
    Thanks

    In about an hour AR is going to start complaining about the cost being too high and wanting cheaper alternatives. The solution to each situation exceeds the value of the computers themselves. Don't bother asking if there is another less expensive way to do it because there is not.
    Expect to pay at least $50 for one.
    For the 8600 there's also a Belkin USB adapter that has OS 9 drivers and I believe there are PCI card wireless adapters that work under OS9 as well (although I can't recall which ones).
    *Proxim Skyline PCI wireless card, that is what WAS sold and worked in 8.6-9.x - they are no longer made and the company was taken over by a larger one that stopped all Mac related support so no new drivers were made.
    *Belkin has drivers for the F5D6050 USB device. They are OK, but not as reliable as one would want. Relative to each other the OSX drivers are better than the OS9 ones.
    *Smart money would buy a wireless bridge.

    This could be an issue with that vintage Tv.
    Svideo is more fitted for video player input.
    Go to http://eshop.macsales.com/ to see what options are available.
    If you send them an email, they will help if you don't see option.
    Prior to sending them mail, select the exact model you have from the
    list of the MacPro's and any other details.
    Is there a reason your still at 10.4.11?
    Also, Apple Tv streams to my Tv's.
    May just have to do a Craigslist search and pick up a worthy Tv with HDMI ports.

    Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.

  • How to connect my mac book pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f?

    I'm desperate to know how to connect my Mac book Pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f. This printer has an independent system, therefore, no need a PC to be on, in order to print. But this printer is a network printer. Help me please.

    The Canon UFR2 v2.20 driver for Mac OS X does not list the iR2010F as a supported model. The same is so for the Canon PS driver so I therefore believe this model is PCL5e only.
    What you should do is open Safari and type the IP address of the iR2010F. This will connect to the internal web page of the copier and from the provided pages you should be able to see what printer languages are supported.
    If it only lists PCL then you will be able to print to this copier using the Generic PCL driver included with 10.6.
    So if you open Print & Fax, click + to add and then select IP > LPD for the protocol you can then enter the IP address of the iR2010F and leave the queue name blank. For the name you can change that to iR1020F and for the Print Using, select Generic PCL Laser Printer.
    One note with regards to this driver. It is defaulted to 300dpi so you will need to open the print dialog when you do print and change the resolution to 600dpi to get better print quality.

    When you have connected the monitor or the TV to the MBP, open System Preferences>Displays and it should show a category called Arrangement.  These links should give some of the details:

    You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

  • How to connect to a wireless network on a i mac g4

    After I installed the airport card I restarted my router, I noticed other networks except for mines appeared. Any suggestions on what to do to access my wireless network?

    Have you ever configured the network yourself (in terms of changing the network name/password, etc), or is it the same settings that Comcast created? You will need to find out the wifi speed and security before you can determine if it's compatible with your Airport card.
    Sometimes the encryption type is written on a sticker on the router itself.
    Often you can log into the router yourself, even with an ISP-managed router, and look at the settings. Do you have any other computers connected to the wireless network? Try to determine their local IP address, and that should tell you the router address. (e.g. on a Mac, go to System Preferences - Network). You would log into your router using http://192.168.1.1, for example, if that's the address.

  • How to connect to tv wirelessly

    how do I connect my mac book pro wirelessly to my tv?

    my computer on my tv when i say free i mean i dont want to buy anything to make this prosses work
    I'm sorry there is no magic to make this work without some cables and adapters for a wired connection or a transmitter/receiver for a wireliss connection.  The only way this could ever possibly be free is if you already have the appropriate devices.  Otherwise nothing is free.
    If you decide on a wired connection  you need to specify  your video port is (mini-dvi, mini-diplayport/thunderbolt).  Then you need an adapter for that to HDMI.
    For wireless there McTiVia and Veebeam.
