Wired/Wireless access problems

We have recently moved home and the new ISP's ADSL line (Netgear 632) has gone live and whilst I am wired directly to the Aiport I get a full internet connection.
Whilst using the base station wirlessly I get annoying problems,; graphics won't load, pages won't load (sometimes they do if I hit reload a bunch of times).
My daughter's iBook works fine with the same connection no problems.
I have updated the base station firmware, used default settings wherever possible, and otherwise changed nothing.
So why can't I access the internet without problems?
I don't know where else to go with the trouble shooting process except ask here.
Thanks for any advice/help.

What Wireless Router are you using (Brand and Model)
Airport Extreme (5.7 firmware updated)
Have you checked with the Router Manufactures site and got the latest Firmware Update for there Router.
Done
Remember when you use the term Airport it is really no more thn the term that Apple uses for there Wireless Technology which includes all of there products using the term Airport, which includes.
Airport Card
Airport Extreme Card.

If I read your explination right you are wired direct from the Ethernet to your Netgear you are Good.
I connect usually using the Wi-Fi part, and this is when it doesn't work properly. Sites not found, graphiccs missing etc. All of which are obtainable when connecting to the Aiport with a CAT5 cable or using my daughters iBoook, so I am not sure wher the problem is.
But when activating and changing from Ethernet to Airport in your System Preferences and NETWORK settings you are not so good.
Be sure when using Wireless you have the settings changed in the Network settings to AIRPORT. The little green dot must be showing and you need to drag it to the top of the list.

  • AirPort Extreme used as a wired/wireless access point at same time?

    Can the gigabit ethernet ports (wired connection) on the AirPort Extreme be used at the same time as the wireless-N connection when it is installed to a switch on an existing network as an access point? Will it still broadcast simultaneous Wireless-N dual band signals?
    If both are yes, then do you have any other information regarding the cofiguration? Or helpful links that may help me? Thank You.

    I have not yet purchased an airport extreme or even tried this. I have an existing network with a simultaneous wireless-N dual band router feeding a main switch. From the main switch I have cat5e wired gigabit connections to 4 PC's then two cat5e cables, each going to a small switch at seperate media centers.
    I have one area that I have a single cat5e wire that can not get the wireless signal from the existing router. In addition to the wireless signal problem, I could use a couple extra gigabit ethernet connections to this same area, but can't pull any new cat5's to it.
    I was told I needed to install a multi-gigabit-port wireless-N access point or install another switch with a single port wireless-N access point connected to it. As I looked into this, the dedicated wireless-N access points are wireless-N dual band but do not broadcast them simultaneously (it's either/or).
    So I was wondering if I would benefit in any way by using the AirPort Extreme instead of the dedicated wireless access point recommended, and if it will give me what I need plus a simultaneous dual band wireless-N connection to the area? I don't know why the IT didn't recommend installing another router like I'm thinking? Don't know if it will even work? If it is a good idea or not? Don't want any conflict or networking problems to have to deal with just because I didn't listen and/or got the wrong item? What do you think?

  • Lion OS start-up causes wireless access problems

    I installed Lion last week. Now when I turn on my Mac and it boots-up, I get a gray screen and I have to enter my system's password. When the OS does start my wireless access is non-functional unless I do a restart. Then it seems to work OK, except Safari will sometimes hang-up and indicate there is no internet access, eventhough my wireless is connected and working - I can still get mail, etc. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Start your system by holding down the option key (alt) and choose your system disk as start volume.

    I guess that you have installed Lion as an Upgrade from 10.6.8.
    If so, you should perform two steps now.
    Perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility on your system disk.
    Don't bother about upcoming warnings during that. It's normal. ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448 )
    Perform the following steps to make your wireless run smooth again.
    According to Apple support, some configuration files may get damaged or corrupt by time, after updates or upgrades and should get deleted occasionally.
    Switch off wifi on the machine.
    Then go on and delete the files mentioned below.
    You will find the files on your system drive (not your home folder) As you are using Lion, the Library is hidden. You have to use (menu bar) "go to" -> "go to folder" on finder to access them.
    /library/preferences/com.apple.preferences.accounts.plist
    /library/preferences/com.apple.preferences.sharing.plist
    /library/preferences/SstemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /library/preferences/SstemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    If there are files in this folders with the same name but additional .orig at the end, delete them too.
    It is possible that not all files are on your system. That will be ok.
    The files will get newly created by system on reboot.
    For that reboot the machine.
    Join your wireless again.
    If the problem (unlikely) persists, report back here.

  • WRT54G Ver. 6 Wireless Access Problem

    This router had been working but started having problems and dropping me off the internet via the wired connection to my ISP's modem.  I disconnected the WRT54G and connected directly to the modem and everything worked okay.   Based on Linksys troubleshooting web link I upgraded the firmware.  After this I had to go back and setup the router again.  It works fine now as a hardwired router but now I can't access the router thru its wireless capability with any of my computers or handhelds.   It was working fine wirelessly before.
    I've set everything up like it was with WEP passphrase, etc.  I did change the passphrase and so the key is different, but I've changed this on the Palm and the Laptops to match.
    When trying to access it from any of the devices I see it in the list, it will try and connect but and the message appears "Obtainaing IP address..." but it never gets it and the connection fails.  This happens on my Palm, and two laptops. 

    Thanks for the assistance.   I am using a Palm PDA and couldn't get it to work for the life of me.  Ends up after checking with Linksys's live session (that really works great) I was convinced the problem was not the router.   So I contacted Palm and through their live session I found out I needed to delete my old connection configuration and re-start from scratch creating a new one.   Apparently the old setup configuration on a Palm PDA keeps some old data that was messing me up.  It worked fine after re-adding the new logon configuration.
    If anything I've learned quite abit about my router and my PDA.
    thanks again...

  • RW180W wireless access problem

    I have 2 access points on my LAN, the built in one on the RV180W (rv180ap) and an Edimax (edimaxap) access point.
    I have had both working without any problems with my laptop (OpenSuse 12.1 and Windows Vista) using the RV180W in AP mode with another (Billion) router but I am having problems using the RV180W as the router..
    With the RV180W acting as the router, I have been able to get a properly working connection with rv180ap and edimaxap but if I change my laptop from using one to the other, I loose the ability to reach the WAN (LAN access remains fine). Eventually, after say an hour, the problem clears but I then find I can not reach the WAN if I switch back to my orginal connection.
    That at least was the situation when I was using my own DHCP server. When I use the RV180W's own DHCP server, the second wireless connection I try  fails 9/10 times because it can not get an IP address (on the 1/10 I get a connection but no WAN).
    Using Firmware 1.0.1.9

    I've added another access point to the LAN.
    Changing between the two external access points works perfectly.
    Changing between either of these and the RV180W's internal access point causes the problems mentioned in my previous post.
    I am aiming to have the RV180W with one of the other access points for roaming access but I can't with this happening.
    Any ideas?

  • BT Infinity - Homehub wireless access problem

    Hi all.
    I had BT infinity installed last Tue, great 34.5M wahey!
    Last night out of the blue, I lost my internet connection.  Tried resetting the HH, no difference.
    Left it and went to bed, home at lunchtime today, still no go.
    Have now tried another computer and it still has no internet access.
    Both machines can see and connect to the wireless network OK, but it seems to connect with limited access and mentions an unidentified network...
    PS.  It works perfectly fine if I use a cabled connection.
    Not really sure of what to do now or what could have changed out of the blue.
    I *think* the other "modem?" part is OK, not sure, Infinity leaves you a little blinded as the modem thing may as well be a black box as I can get no detail on it...
    Solved!

    have you tried getting a new ip address for the p.c./laptop ? open a command prompt & type
    ipconfig /release  & press enter
    ipconfig /renew & press enter 
    ( ensure there is a space between ipconfig and / )
    see if that helps

  • Intermittent NW problems wired/wireless

    Hi,
    My iMac experiences some intermittent NW problems.
    Configuration:
    iMac is connected (wired) to a USR router which is on its turn connected to my ADSL modem/router.
    Symptoms:
    Every now and then (couple of time per day) I'm not able to access the Internet. The internal NW is still OK: I can access both of my routers. When this happens I see that iStat Pro shows that the External IP is being updated. Which is strange, because my laptop which is connected to the same USR router is still able to continue to access the Internet at the same time. So no problem with the external IP address. I checked the modem/router at the time of the drop-out, but that was fine.
    I tried using the same UTP cable to connect my laptop iso iMac, still no problem. I tried it connecting the iMac wireless to my router, still the same issue.
    I returned the iMac to the service center for having it analyzed, but as expected they didn't experience any issue.
    Is there anybody else with the same problem? At first I thought it would be a faulty NW i/f or driver, but as it happens with both the wired/wireless i/f I should think of something else.
    Thanks.

    Hi Gringeiro,
    Are you using WEP or WPA wireless security on your router?  I would recommend WPA2 with AES, well, if you want to connect it wirelessly.  Also, it will help if you set a static IP address on the printer.  You can do this by typing the printer's IP address into the address bar of your browser.  Select the Network tab, then look for IPV4 under the Wired or Wireless section, depending upon how you have it connected.  There should be an option to "Suggest Manual IP".  If not, type IPCONFIG from the command prompt (Start/Run cmd) to get your Subnet and Gateway addresses.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided.

  • IOS 6.0.1 - Problems with certificate based authentication on wireless access point

    Hi all
    We are using iPad 2 as order terminals in our shops for about 5 months. Some of the iPads (the first who entered the field) started to cause problems now. These iPads are no longer able to keep long-term connection to the wireless access point in our stores. After selecting the SSID a successful authentication using the stored EAP-TLS certificate is performed (this can be seen in the log files of our wireless controller and by the IP adress that is given by DHCP). But within seconds the affected iPads opening up a captive portal page (empty, without contents) and separates the connection to the SSID after a short time again.
    Affected are currently only iPads 2 with iOS 6.0.1, which were staged about 5 months ago. The newer devices with iOS 6.1+ connect without problems and open no captive portal page. The first cases occurred on the last Wednesday. Before that everything worked without difficulty. No modifications took place on the security structure.  The numbers of affected devices increased until all iOS 6.0.1 were affected.
    Access to other SSIDs (without use of certificates, by entering a key) for the devices is still possible (the devices does not open an captive portal page). The DHCP scope is not used up, so there are enough IP addresses available.
    "Newer iPads" with an iOS of 6.1+ are are showing no problems on the same wireless access point, where the older devices are rejected. New and old devices use the same certificates and authentication mechanisms.
    In the analysis of the issue, it turned out that  the problem can be solved by an update to iOS 6.1.3. Subsequently, the iPads will be able to rebuild a connection with the access point, without a captive portal page.
    Since the bandwidth is very narrow dimensioned in our stores, the communication of the iPads was severely restricted. Thus, the iPads are for exampleare accessible for the APNS but can not find iOS updates or check for their availability.
    A comprehensive update to iOS 6.1.3 is currently excluded.
    Does anyone knows this issue? What else can be done (except from updating)?

    I will answer my own question in case it helps anyone else.
    It would "seem" the ios 6 devices try the proxy and if that is not working they resort to the def gateway.
    To Fix I did the following:
    Brocade WIFI network has IPS and Advanced Firewall rules that seemed to be tthwarting some traffic, the iphones would then try the default gateway and be blocked at the FW. 
    I disabled the IPS and the Advanced Firewall Settings on the wifi as they are redundant to our main IPS and firewall that all traffic flows through anyway.  I will tune it later, but when the CEO is demanding a fix "**** the security, full speed ahead"
    Created some rues on the firewall to allow...
    - IMAP-SSL (port993) outbound
    - SMTPS (port 465) to yahoo servers outbound
    - tcp port 587 to yahoo servers outbound
    - https to akamai servers
    Most http and https goes through the proxy as it should, BUT...
    It seems that the akamai traffic allways ignores the wifi proxy settings and just heads straight for the default gateway.  I suspect there is a bug in the icloud app? 
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • I have recently encountered a problem when trying to access 3G network from IPAD2.  Wireless access working fine.  When going on safari it attempts to access page and then comes up with message that 'server stopped responding'.  I have tried resetting.

    I am unable to access 3G network, although wireless access is working fine.  When opening a page in safari it churns for a while and then says that server has stopped responding.  I noticed on one forum that it said something about changing brightness settings causing a conflict - coincidentally this first started happening after I had tweaked brightness.  I have tried resets etc, but still no joy.  Any ideas?

  • Wireless Connection Problems for Home Hub 3 and Vi...

    We have upgraded from BT Home Hub 2 to version 3 and had a BT man (engineer) visit to set it up. He did so with no problems on our PC (wired, runnning XP) and installed all relevant software on the PC and this is connected which so far has been fast (enough - as expected) and reliable. Once the 'main' computer in the house was connected we then tried to connect other things to the internet using this BT Hub 3.
    However when attempting to connect our family laptop (running Vista) we hit trouble. Initially I tried to use the icon in the tray (bottom right of the screen) by clicking on connect to a network, then selecting our hub, then inputting the wireless key and going through the menus correctly. It would only connect 'locally' and not recognise the hub. It says identifying then says unidentified (public network BT Hub 3) and only 'local' access which I then change to private network. With my preivious internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT NOT Home, Work or Public.
    So I then tried the BT disc that comes with the hub into the laptop. I go through the menus - it asks is the broadband light steady blue? Yes. Click next to continue wireless set up. So I press continue. It then asks for the wireless network/SSID BTHub3- numbers and letters and the wireless key. So I put that in correctly (double checking) and click next. It then says Connecting to your Hub which then gets ticked but then the checking wireless key doesn't tick - it crosses, and says failed. It asks me to check I typed the numbers and letters correctly (I am sure of that) and It goes to Manuel set up. Where I select my hub and again type in the wireless key and click next. But the same thing happens - connecting to your hub gets ticked but checking wireless key fails.
    I then get a message that says i should do a wired set up, which I can do and works but on the laptop wired solutions is just not satisfactory - laptops need wireless connectivity. Is this a problem with my laptop, Vista or the hub/modem or a combination.
    I also have been able to connect other things to the internet such as a netbook (running Windows 7) and a games console. Please comment if anthing needs explaining or more detail. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    John46: I uninstalled the Hub programmes you said to. I then tried to connect to a network (wirelessly - accessed either by going to Start - Connect to or from the icon in the tray (bottom right). I selected my hub and clicked connect. It does its thing and says 'successfully connected to...' I close that and go onto Network and Sharing Center and it shows its trying to identify the network and wait a few seconds it then shows 'unidentified network (public network)...' and that I have only got local access and so cannot surf the web.
    As I mentioned in my earlier post:
    With my previous Internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT not got the choice between Home, Work or Public.
    Hope I've explained myself.

  • Apple TV 2G (Airplay and Homesharing) can only stream from devices on the same wireless access point range??

    connection:
    40 Mbps Fiber Broadband connection using:
    Devices:
    1. Main Modem/router (AP1): Huawei HG8245 (provided by ISP) - Wireless enabled.
    2. Remote Access point (AP2): Linksys/Cisco E3200 Wireless gigabyte router flashed with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/14/11) mini (Cascaded -wired- LAN to LAN from main modem).
    3. Wireless Repeater to cover a dead spot  (AP3): Linksys/Cisco E1000 wireless repeater.
    4. Apple Tv (AT2G) with home sharing/airplay enabled.
    5.( Ipad) with home sharing on itunes enabled.
    6. Win7 (PC) using iTunes with Home sharing enabled.
    all devices are updated to their latest firmware.
    In order to cover a large 3 story house with Wifi. I had (AP1) is located on the first floor, while (AP2) is located in the basement floor directly wired by LAN to LAN with (AP1). (AP3) is located on the Ground floor away from the living room to repeat wireless network into the back yard. While (AT2G) is located in the living room on the ground floor right in the middle of both (AP1) + (AP2) while connected via Wifi.
    Network SSID, security, passphrase and wireless settings of (AP2) are identical to (AP1) to create a single big LAN/WLAN roaming network where all devices connected to both wireless access points can find/share the others. As understood, it's refered to as bridging.
    I have noticed that my iphone/ipad does not show the airplay button anywhere within the wireless network. it seems that the apple TV randomly choses to connect to the AP with stronger signal, or switch to the other in case of a reboot to one of them.
    to elaborate further, if i was sitting in the living room (groundfloor), trying to airplay some you tube contents via Wifi to my Apple TV, i may not find the airplay button available all the time, i found out the reason is while i'm wirelessly connected to AP1, the Apple TV was connected to AP2 and both deviced cannot detect each others to enable my purpose. that goes the same for Home Sharing. only if my Ipad/PC and Apple Tv are on the same wireless AP. they would detect each others immediately.
    although, the second AP (AP2) is suppose to extend my wireless network of the same subnet in which any device connected can be found.
    After all sorts of trial and error tweaking my router/access point, I thought the problem would be due to the Linksys 3200 capability of bridging WLAN and lacks few protocols that enables my purpose. i have flashed the firmware to a DD-WRT, but again, problem was not solved.
    I have not tried having my Apple Tv wired to either router/AP, but i assume it may work well if i do so. i still need to solve this wireless connection issue though.
    Am i the only one with this problem, would there be something wrong with my setup? 
    Your feedback is highly appreciated.

    You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
    I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
    Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
    I don't really follow your next point.
    instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
    Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.

  • Wired guest access with 5508

    Hi
    I have setup wireless guest access for a customer with a single 5508 and web authentication no problem at all. He then wanted to test wired guest access. The 5508 is currently connected to a single 3560 switch. The wired clients get a DHCP address OK but cannot reslove DNS and thus don't get redirected to teh guest login portal. I have even tried turning of all L3 security to no avail. The setup is as follows
    VLAN 101 access points and 5508 management interface
    VLAN 102 wired guest access dynamic ingress (L2 config only no SVI on 3560)
    VLAN 103 wireless guest dynamic egress nterface L3 network with SVI on switch
    VLAN 104 wired guest dynamic egress interface L3 network with SVI on switch
    There are two DHCP pools setup on the WLC one for the VLAN 103 and one for the VLAN 104 subnets.
    The internet router is also connected to the 3560 on a sepearte VLAN with an SVI. the 3560 has a default route to teh internet router and teh DHCP pools give the DHCP clients a default gateway of the IP address of dynamic interface 103 or 104. The Internet routre can ping the WLC on both these addresses.
    LAG is enabled on teh WLC and VLANs 101-104 are trunked to it from the 3560.
    I even tried making the wired guest egress interface the same one as for wireless. The wired clientys now got an IP address on the wireless range but still couldnt pass any traffic. It's like the intrenal bridging on teh WLC between VALN 102 and 104 (or 103) is broken. Tried both the lates 6.x and 7.x software on the WLC. Any ideas ? All the problems I can find with this seem to relate to not gettingas far as a DHCP address but that works fine.
    Thanks
    Pat

    Hi
    Yes got it resolved. It turns out that the connection from the wired guest access port to the WLC must be L2. That is the switch that the wired guest acces sport is connected and WLC are connected to must be L2 only. We were using a single switch to do the testing and it was also doing the routing for the test LAN. Even though there was no L3 VLAN interface configured for the VLAN that the guest access port was on for some reason this breaks it. Absolu Didnt have chance to work out the exact limitations of this as we simply made the switch L2 only and configured an 802.1Q trunk to the Internet router and made subinterfaces on the router for the wired and wireless egress ports and it worked then. No config change was needed on the WLC at all.
    The only thing I can think of is that it's something about the way the WLC joins the wired guest access ingress VLAn and egress VLAN. The WLC isn't a reall router it says so in the documentation. I think the packet coming from the wired access port is being bridged to the egress VLAn not routed and this is what screws it up (remeber with a router the source and destination MAC addresses would be changed with a bridge they aren't). Got to be something along those lines. If you have a bigger newtork with a guest anchor WLC handling this function you dont run into this as the traffic is coming over an EOIP tunnle from the remote WLC so the switch with the guest anchor WLC doesnt see the MAC address of the wired guest PC.

  • Wired guest access on WLC 4400 with SW 7.0.240.0

    Has someone a idea how to solve this problem?

    Hi
    Yes got it resolved. It turns out that the connection from the wired guest access port to the WLC must be L2. That is the switch that the wired guest acces sport is connected and WLC are connected to must be L2 only. We were using a single switch to do the testing and it was also doing the routing for the test LAN. Even though there was no L3 VLAN interface configured for the VLAN that the guest access port was on for some reason this breaks it. Absolu Didnt have chance to work out the exact limitations of this as we simply made the switch L2 only and configured an 802.1Q trunk to the Internet router and made subinterfaces on the router for the wired and wireless egress ports and it worked then. No config change was needed on the WLC at all.
    The only thing I can think of is that it's something about the way the WLC joins the wired guest access ingress VLAn and egress VLAN. The WLC isn't a reall router it says so in the documentation. I think the packet coming from the wired access port is being bridged to the egress VLAn not routed and this is what screws it up (remeber with a router the source and destination MAC addresses would be changed with a bridge they aren't). Got to be something along those lines. If you have a bigger newtork with a guest anchor WLC handling this function you dont run into this as the traffic is coming over an EOIP tunnle from the remote WLC so the switch with the guest anchor WLC doesnt see the MAC address of the wired guest PC.

  • Wired 'net access, not close to router

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if someone can help.  We have FIOS and are running wireless through the Actiontec router.  Everything there works fine.  The problem is we recently purchased a new entertainment center and it comes with a wired inetnet access point - no wireless.  The problem is it is too far away from our router to readily run a cat-5 cable to it.  I've looked into bridging to the Actiontec, but it doesn't seem to support that. 
    Is there a device that acts as a simple wireless client but has an RJ45 connection on it?  A device that can connect to the coax (as I understand that the ONT box is what is actually acting as the modem - the Actiontec box is simply a router and wireless access point) that will function as a 2nd router and connect?
    Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    Another option is to use EOP (Ethernet over power). This is a device that comes with two units. Unit 1 plugs into an electrical outlet near the router and you run Ethernet from it to the router. Unit 2 plugs into the electrical near your entertainment center and you run an Ethernet cable from it to the entertainment center. Then the connection from the router to your center is connected via the electrical wiring in your house. Better than wireless, not quite as good as a direct hardwire but it is a good compromise.

  • Can I use iMac as wireless access point?

    My network equipment: ADSL modem (which has no integrated wireless) with Buffalo AirStation (802.11b) wireless access point
    I have had a reasonably stable broadband situation for a long time (hence the ancient equipment!) and have been able to access the internet via my ADSL modem/ethernet router using ethernet wires from my iMac G5, and two desktop PCs running Linux and Windows. I have also been able to access via the wireless Buffalo Airstation on various laptops over the years. My wife's brand new MacBook has been connecting wirelessly for a couple of weeks.
    Until last night...
    Then the AirPort signal dropped to zero and a neighbour's network was suggested as the network I need. I looked at the Buffalo Airstation and there was a flashing red light (and flashing green ones as well). Being an experienced chap I turned it off and turned it back on! For about five minutes the Airport signal was back. Then it disappeared with flashing lights as before. Repeated a few times with no change...
    I don't know if the problem is related to the neighbour's wireless signal or not but I decided that it could be the AirStation getting flaky so I tried creating a network on the iMac with a view to sharing its wired connection.
    I can log on to this iMac network from the MacBook and I have changed the Systems Preferences to share the connection on the iMac but the MacBook says it is not connected to the internet. Anyone got any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Should I be entering the ADSL modem router in the internet connection details (which is what I have done) or should I be entering something else?
    Is what I am trying to do even possible? I haven't found any exact parallels in the documentation or the forums...
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Does the Buffalo AirStation allow you to change the channel being used?
    You can share an Internet connection over Ethernet to other computers using Airport. You set it up in System Preferences Sharing pane Internet tab (if using Tiger). On the MacBook, you should just use the default +Configure Using DHCP+ setting. Be sure you clicked to Start the sharing on the iMac. On the MacBook, be sure you select the wireless network that is the iMac's name.
