I placed a call to a guy that does CAT 5 runs. He helped me when I upgraded my two alarm systems. Definitely talented at getting small wires into tight places.
I know the possibility of interference will be minimized with a hard wire system, but as with most residences, access is near impossible in some areas.
My new Apple Powerbook 17 is the only computer with built in Wi Fi, and its 802-11g compatible.
The two custom built Win machines run Microsoft XP Pro, but theres also three desktop Mac towers running OS 9 / Jaguar 10.
The Apple Airport extreme will run the powerbook at either 802-11b or 802-11g (54 mbps). Coupled with a Linksys router, this should allow the Mac and Win machines access to high speed without problems (or so promised).
The company offering us high speed is Comcast cable. I believe their modem requires a single stationary IP address. If so, all the computers will need a sub address to share access. Anyone have experience with keeping these animals friendly and on speaking terms?
