Hi,
I've got an old G3 desktop mac (with usb ports)....It is now hooked to my DSL cable....i have a laptop that I am working on more....I'm constantly plugging the dsl line between the two to access the internet...I want both of them attached to the dsl. I was told to get "Microsoft Broadband networking wireless base station MN-500"....I can get a wireless card fot my laptop later....then I saw on e-bay...there is a MN-500 and a MN=700?? I can't tell the difference...any advice?...can I also use this to plug my printer into both the mac and pc? Thanks LindaJane |

The MN-700 is more recent and provides better wireless
security and faster wireless. If you don't plan to use wireless you may also consider the MN-100. Note that the MN routers don't have a setup for the Mac and you'll have to do it manually, but they work fine (well, all these follow the ethernet and 802.11 standards that are quite common in computers and routers). >-----Original Message----- >Hi, >I've got an old G3 desktop mac (with usb ports)....It is >now hooked to my DSL cable....i have a laptop that I am >working on more....I'm constantly plugging the dsl line >between the two to access the internet...I want both of >them attached to the dsl. >I was told to get "Microsoft Broadband networking >wireless base station MN-500"....I can get a wireless >card fot my laptop later....then I saw on e-bay...there >is a MN-500 and a MN=700??
