Exclamation Connecting a Mac

Hi

Just got Sky broadband connect, managed to connect wirelessly with a vaio pc laptop, now trying to connect an Apple G4. It doesn't have airport, but have a Netgear USB Wireless Adapter, trying to start from scratch having never connected it before...can anyone offer any advice?? What to put in system preferences etc, basically how do we do it!!!!! Rather stuck

Thanks

Re: Connecting a Mac

Hi,

Thanks for your reply...we managed to get working by buying an airport card, just waiting for the release of the new OS before upgrading the mac anyway.

Thanks again

Re: Connecting a Mac

Yeah...third party hardware support is one of the only things about OS X that really annoys me.
