Mac with airport card and PC with wi-fi card

Hi!
I just bought my first mac, and strange, but I have problems connecting my mac via airport extreme card to my wi-fi card (as computer-to-computer or ad-hoc mode) on my PC. I am not using base station or any wi-fi router, just two computers with their internal cards.
PC has WinXP pro with SP2 and mac - imac g5. The problem is that both of the cards are enabled and are working on 100%, but they do not see each other! I tried to create a wireless network on my PC and then search for this network from mac and vice versa - nothing. By the way my notebook finds the PC's newly created network with no problem, but not the mac.
What could be wrong? Is it possible, that it's nessesary to use the base station with them?
iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   OS Tiger

anyone?

  • Discovery issues with airport extreme and issues with airport utility

    I lost about 3 hours with connection issues while trying to add a second airport express. The airport Utility couldn't find any of the units anymore. After aging a couple of years and checking lots of forums (many suffered the same problems) I found this link
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1406#
    Which seemed to help me reset the units and find them again. Though I can't be certain if it was just luck, the airport utility and detection and resetting of the express and extreme seemed solved.
    I would add that this is an area that should be looked at by apple. It is not the first time that I have problems with the airport utility or the extreme.

    Check the cabling to the Base Station - make sure the modem is plugged into the Base Station's ethernet WAN port (ie the port labelled with the "circle of dots" icon).
    With the modem cabled to the Base Station - pull power to both for five minutes or so. Then plug the modem into power and wait a minute. Then plug the Base Station into power and wait a minute. Then try internet access again.
    If that still doesn't work:
    - on the Mac which can successfully connect to the internet when cabled directly to the modem, tell us what settings are found in System Preferences->Network->Show ethernet built in->PPPoE tab, and under the TCP/IP tab.
    - from either a PC or the Mac connected to the Base Station, run the Airport Admin Utility, select the name of your base station, click Configure, click on the Internet tab. Tell us what settings are found under that tab.

  • MY system folder, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac) How do I remove them

    I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac).  For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always.  I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

  • Trouble with Airport Extreme and Time Capsule

    Just got a new 2TB time capsule and added it to my network (existing Airport Express and Airport Extreme).  All devices are hard-wire back-hauled to Linksys router.  Set up was straight forward with no issues and initiated a time capsule back up without a problem.  Within hours I noticed that the TC was no longer reachable in Finder.. Opening the AirPort utility, I saw that both the Extreme and the TC were "lost".  Still had (green) internet connectivity, but the base stations were showing as off-line in the Airport utility.
    Tried rebooting and checking from multiple other devices and no luck.  Occasionally will find them both on-line in Airport utility, but seem to lose one (usually TC) after a short period.  All are running the most up to date version of firmware (7.7.3).  Prior to installing the TC, I had experienced 0 issues with Airport Express and Extreme.
    Has anyone else seen similar issues?  Are there settings that need to be accounted for in some way to avoid these frustrating "lost devices"?
    thanks

    Thank you for your quick answer, smorkerz. However, I did it and it doesn't work.
    I tried to check separately the time capsule and the airport extreme, switching one off when using the other one. The result is that each one works alone but when I use them both, just time capsule appears, works well, and I can't use the airport to print for instance.
    Do you understand anything ?

    Close all iWork applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired

    Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

    1. Create executable for Oracle Reports.
    2. Create a concurrent program based on this executable with output type as xml.
    3. Now from XMLP responsibility, create a data definition with data definition short code = concurrent program short code
    4. Create template definition choosing the data definition created above. Upload RTF/other template format created.

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

    If there is an item in there drag it out.

  • Code works with Dreamweaver CS6 and not with CC

    <p><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.open('http://www.anything.comt', '', 'top=20,left=20,toolbar=0,statusbar=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1')" title="title">name</a></p> works with Dreamweaver CS6 and not with CC
    [Edited Title and moved to Dreamweaver- JTS]

    I'm not quite sure I understand your point.
    I have just tested the Open Browser Window behavior in Dreamweaver CC. It creates slightly different code from Dreamweaver CS6, but it works correctly. This is what is created in the HTML:
    <p>my <a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.adobe.com/','mywindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollb ars=yes,resizable=yes')">link</a>
    </p>
    Dreamweaver CC also adds the following code to the <head> of the page:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
      window.open(theURL,winName,features);
    </script>
    The definition of the MM_openBrWindow() function is needed in the <head> for the code to work. But it definitely works OK.
    With regard to _self and _blank not working, I can't find any problem with the way Dreamweaver CC handles them.
    However, if you feel happier working with Dreamweaver CS6, you can download it from the following page:
    https://creative.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver
    Open the drop-down menu under "In this version", and select Dreamweaver CS6 as shown in the following screenshot:
    With Dreamweaver CS6 selected, click the large Download button at the top-right of the page. You can then download CS6, and install it alongside Dreamweaver CC.

    Yvesolution

    What you normally should do when you have an iTunes card that has not been activated is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, or you don't know or can't get to the retailer, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt
    Regards.
