Thread: Need help with new connection and Mac compatibility

Hello Friends,

I stay in Dombivli (Thane Dist.) and am planning to get a BSNL Broadband connection. I would appreciate if any body can guide me as to which connection plan will be suitable one.

Conditions are,
1. I will be using my Apple MacBook 2007 version with MacOSX 10.6
2. I also would be using Apple Airport Express router for Wifi.

Would I need any special modems to set this up? or just direct Ethernet connection to the Express will do? I need this Express so that my iPod Touch 2g can also be used.

Simple guidance and tips will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Enable DHCP in router.
In all computers TCP/IP properties
