Do the router thing. It'd be cheaper than two pieces of software (if he doesn't like the one built into OS X) and has a lot more features. It's a lot of work to configure, though. Here's how. Step one: Plug it into the modem. Step three: Plug the computer into it. Step three: There is no step three! ::-) Well, alright, you have to turn it on, too. And set your computer to get its numbers through DNS (Automatically). But that's it, unless you want to get fancy. Wireless routers are so cheap these days that you could get one now and then when you get your 'Book (or even another desktop at the other end of the house) you'll be ready to go. j. -- Jonathan Fletcher jfletch at newmediaconstco.com | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be February 28 at Pitt Academy, 6010 Preston Highway. | The LCS Web page is <http://www.kymac.org>. | List posting address: <mailto:macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu> | List Web page: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup>
