I want to use this for my Dell PC which has Vista. Will this be difficult to install because of Vista MY wireless router will be connected to a MAc. should this make a difference thanks

check whether network drivers r installed correctly

If you are connecting to the wireless router using LAN cables only then you can ignore the wireless setup part.
To configure Netgear wireless router and the wireless cards in the laptop and PC follow these steps : -
1. Connect the wireless router to your computer with a LAN cable.
2. Start your browser and enter the router's configuration URL : -
http://192.168.0.1
3. Enter the router setup, login and password : -
Login = admin
PW = password
4. Change the admin password
5. Go to the wireless settings and change the default SSID and turn off SSID broadcast.
6. Setup encryption key the strongest is WPA2 (if not then WPA).
7. For further security measures - turn on MAC address filtering and enter the MAC address of the wireless cards on the computer/s you want to connect to this wireless router.
8. Record the settings you have made and keep it in a safe place and Save the settings.
9. Configure the wireless cards on the computer/s with the SSID and encryption settings of the router.
10. Remove the LAN cable between the router and the computer then the computers should be able to connect to the router.

If your wireless router is configured with SSID, encryption, MAC address filtering (if enabled) etc. then the Dell wireless card needs to be configured with these settings to allow it to communicate with the wireless router.
Check the settings on your PC's wireless settings, and configure the Dell the same way.

A lot of cable modems will store the MAC address of the first device connected to them and will only talk to this particular device/MAC address. If this is the case, you will need to power down the modem and the router for some period of time. If you also get phone service through your cable company then there may even be an internal battery backup that you have to exhaust. Unplug it and wait at least one minute after all lights are off and then turn it on first followed by the router. The router should then register its MAC address with the modem and then all will be good.

If your modem or some other equipment owned by the cable company permanently stores the MAC address then you will need to one of two things. The easiest is to call the cable company's tech support and ask them to change the MAC address for your account to match your router. The seoond option is to configure the router to clone the MAC address of your XP box. Here is a link to a thread on linksys' web site with step by step directions:

Note: If you want to implement security, do not use WEP as indicated in these directions, use WPA. WEP is hardly better than no security.

first connect your router to laptop with ethernet cable. Then u can access it with following link http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 then type user name as "admin" and password is "admin" or blank or "password" then u can see configuration of your router. then check its ip range and enable dhcp and also if there mac security u have to add your mac adrese in allow list u can find your computer mac adreses with command prompt. type "ipconfig /all" in command prompt. then u get alL ADRSES physical adrses is your mac addreses.

You're not the only person experiencing this problem. Many PowerPC users who upgraded to QuickTime 7.5 (sometimes even QuickTime 7.3) began to experience widespread stuttering and halting when playing back video. Apparently, these packages contained functionality improvements that simple maxed out the old CPUs.
Unfortunately, there is no generally agreed-upon fix. Since the PowerPC is a dead-end Apple architecture, most people eventually "fix" the problem by upgrading to a current (Intel) model of Macintosh. I wish I had better news for you.

The 1390 WLAN Minicard may not be configured to communicate with your wireless router.
Check the wireless router settings, (check the wireless settings on your other computer) and configure the 1390 WLAN with the same settings eg. SSID, WEP/WAP encryption, etc.
Is MAC address filtering enabled on your wireless router, if so add the MAC address of the 1390 WLAN to the MAC address list in the wireless router.

Check the TCP/IP properties of the 1390 WLAN card the Internet protocol should not have a fixed IP address, set it to Obtain an IP address automatically including the DNS.

Use the Ipconfig command to see the IP configuration of the network cards.

Use the Ping command to see if you can communicate with wireless router.

if you had say one desktop and one laptop I would say to buy another LAN card for the desktop and enable internet connection sharing on it for the other computer but with two laptops that might not be possible and you will need a router.
But routers are pretty cheap nowadays and you can probably find a basic 4 port router on eBay for around $20 (you don’t really need to spend the extra money on a wireless one unless of course both laptops have wireless connections then you might find that a wireless router to be pretty useful.)
But to answer your question YES you need a router since a router will take your IP address and split it up into multiple internal IP addresses and allow more that one connection to the internet that will appear as one connection to your ISP

Funny this, We are doing the same thing! same wireless connect, but I am on a PC you can switch all of your files, but you would have to upload them or ask your mac seller if they could transfer it for you.

so u r triying to login to ur netgear router>check with conn>connect the pc through the lan and login to the net gear and configured ur w/l part and dis the laptop restart and check
