it's probably a problem with the configuration of the router or the i-book. do you/have you gotten any other computers to work with your' current setup? what router are you using? how is the i-book and the desktop configured for network? as long as the router has ports left you don't need to add a switch, when you run out of ports on the router you can add a router/switch/or hub to one of it's ports to get more ports but there's no reason to until you run out of ports.

White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. If giving up freedoms makes you feel more secure, I suggest you move to China and tell me if it really makes you feel safer, but don't ask me to give up what so many died for. Be polite, respond OFF LIST if you "simply" must. --End Signature Block-- Begin forwarded message: > From: Kathy Kotomaimoce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon Feb 10, 2003 9:40:07 AM America/Denver > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (G-List) > Subject: need router AND ethernet switch for DSL setup? > Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (G-List) > > Okay, I'm a little confused here. > We set up DSL modem and are now enjoying fast speeds on my G4.
