If the imac has support for an airport card (and one is installed) then yes. You can purchase a card after you have it, as long as the imac model supports the card (not all do). > and > if so how do I set it up using the equipment have.I know I have to > get airport cards for both ibook and imac.

Does the performa have a network card? If so, then it would work just fine. If not, then that complicates things a bit... Give me some details on your network setup so I can know what you need. thanks, Ian -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
