So I broke down and purchased an Airport Express. My used Airport Base Station (graphite) gave out on me. I got it for a great deal and I got plenty of use out of it. The Airport Express is pretty handy though. It have a stronger signal than the original base station and it can do some things the origianl cannot either. Those differences being the ability to stream music to my stereo or share our printer between computers...wirelessly. So in addition to surfing on the couch I can eliminate some cables while I am at it. The unit is very small, and plugs right into the wall. Setting it up was a snap as well.
(Warning techno jargon)
There were a couple things that it either cannot do or I and other mac peeps I know have not figured out. Those are PPTP pass through and Port Map. If anyone who happens to read this has figured it out on the APEX, hook me up.
**Update**
I figued out why I could'nt PPTP pass through and Port Map the APEX. Cause duh, I was using an outdated version of the Airport Admin Utility. Once I got that installed everything was gravy.
I think that John May or Mike Spitz would be quite knowlegeable about the tech request.
I've mess around with it in the past but our net admins have that stuff so hands off for me.
