I'm having one heck of a time setting up my home network.
I've got an old SMC router that has printer sharing. So this works well, I can have 3 computers hardwired, and I can have others access it via wireless, 802.11b. So that was my old setup.
Now I'd like to setup a network drive and have a seperate 802.11g wireless access for a new laptop we just got.
Well I purchased another SMC router and thought I could connect it with a simple crossover cable. It sorta works. Once I have it connected, I can no longer get on the internet.
Oh, and for my netork drive, I can only see it when I am connected via hardwire, not via wireless conection.
What should I be looking for?
