Hi,
I have a G4 Sawtooth and a G4 Powerbook both running OS X 10.4.11. I have a
"naked" DSL line and my ISP is Verizon. Recently I received a Actiontec
GT784 modem/router. I wish to use wired Ethernet on the Sawtooth and
Wireless on the Powerbook. The physical connection is very straightforward,
however I cannot connect to the Internet. The ISP provides no manual or
instructions. An help is appreciated
Cheers, Les

In general, the WAN side (to your ISP) is directly connected.
The LAN side (to your Intranet) can be wired AND wireless.
Simply go into your router's setup panel, usually by directing your
browser to 192.168.1.1, and establish your wireless protection means, with
WPA or WPA2 being recommended.
Select strong passwords/passphrases for BOTH the admin access to your
router AND general access to the same.
There are very good pseudo-random number generators available to assist you.
Gibson Research Corporation ...

... is one.

It's likely your router may need a firmware update before you place it
into action. You'll need a Windoze PeeCee to upgrade the firmware. The
current non-ISP specific firmware is "NCS01-1.0.8" available here:

Use the manual on the link above. You'll need to use the browser-based
setup with your Verizon password to get the router to automatically
connect.
