"Airport Ready" simply means it has the internal Airport slot. If you actually have an Airport card (plus the extensions) loaded it should appear as an available ethernet port to configure in the TCP/IP control panel. If it doesn't have an airport card, giove the base station back to your sister, and get yourself something like: <http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=50002504&pfp=BROWSE> Get an ethernet cable for each computer, and plug em all together. Then you should be able to enable file sharing on each system, go into chooser and see each other. If the iMac is going to be a ways away and you don't want to run cabling, get the airport card installed in it, but that's going to be more expensive. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
