would this work...?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if this network would hold water:

Let's say I had an airport station that was connected to the 'net through either DSL or dialup, and that was connected by ethernet to a beige g3/266. Could I throw airport cards in three other computer and have all four computer access the 'net and eachother? I'd imagine I'll need 10.2+ for all of this...not a problem (10.3 will work on the beige g3, right?).

Thanks!

Dialup???

It should work with DSL and an Airport Extreme base station with a LAN Ethernet port - you need it for the beige G3.

I have a client with an eMac plugged into the Airport via Ethernet and several wireless laptops. All can exchange files no problem. They are all on the Internet via DSL.

So Dialup won't work? And I need 10.3?

I think dialup should work in theory, I just don't have any experience with it.

No, you don't need 10.3. I think even 9 would work.
