I have a mac mini and a new Compaq laptop. Currently the mac was
hard wired to Time warner cable modem. Now i bought a Netgear
WGT624 v2 router and tried to hook this all up. I connected the router
directly to the cable modem then the mac mini hard wired to the router.
Next I tried to get wireless service for the windows xp based laptop.
Nothing works. Does nyone have a similar problem. Does the mac mini
need special driver for the netgear router? Any help would be great!!
Thanks!!
