I have been using a D-link DI-524 router and a Proxim Skylline 802.11b PDC Card PN473a with a PB 1400/Sonnet 333Mz, OS 8.6 and 56MB memory which is wireless connected to a G4 OS 10.2. It is working just fine. All of this is connected to a cable modem for an internet connection. The D-link DI-524 came with Mac setup assistant using a browser that were on a CD. The Prtoxim skyline card came with Mac drivers on a CD also.
My biggest problem getting this to work was the software connection to the G4. I got help from this forum to make everything work. Here is some of that advice.
"So, supposedly, if you have all the sharing turned on on your OS X machine, and you connect to it via the "server ip" connection in the chooser of the 8.6 1400 (typing in the numberic IP not a machine name unless you have a DNS running) , you should be golden. ======
So, connecting you need to give a username and a password; does it ID the server properly? This is a real Appleshare connection prompt that mentions the server name, etc? If so, then the above doesn't apply to you :) The needed user and password will be the same user name on the OS X box that you entered when you set it up, the same user and password that you use for example when you run Software Update on the G4 and Apple has new softwore for you to install. Do you have that password?
It all should work if you are connecting via AppleshareIP, using the "serverIP" feature of the chooser. I think that came out in 8.6..."
