Yep, that's exactly what I'm saying. When you first set it up, you get a warning saying that using it to bridge between wireless and wired and using it for DHCP may cause problems, but I've never had it cause any problems. One thing you do have to do though if you're using X on the wired machines, is that you need to get ABS Modem Utility:

in order to control the modem from the wired machines. The beta release supports X. But I've been using it for years with no problem. Also, it won't show in versiontracker (I guess since it's beta) under X software.

Maybe someone else knows something I don't.

You would need one of the base stations that had a modem in it. The current Extreme one has a modem and if memory serves there was a version of the 802.11b station that had a modem in it.

As far as I can tell, all the 802.11b AirPort Base Stations
(non-Extreme)
had a modem in them. I think that the first generation (Graphite) could
share the modem connection only with computers connecting wirelessly
to it
while the second generation (Snow) could also share it over a wired
Ethernet
network since it had an additional LAN Ethernet port. I could be wrong
because I've never configured mine to do that...



Nope, not true. I share wired and wireless every day on my graphite with dialup. And I set up my niece's graphite to do the same. And it's really not to bad. As long as the other users aren't downloading files, it works fine. Now it's not near as fast as my DSL here at the office, but we can set on our sofa with a laptop and multitask just fine.

So, you're saying that using the Ethernet port (usually used to hook it to
the cable or DSL modem), you were able to share it with wired computers? I
didn't know you could do that...
