linksys wireless router with usb printer port
Network Magic question…?

I need to know if this is going to work before I start setting it up. I have an Apple Airport Extreme router that only has 3 ethernet ports on it but I need 4. I want to plug a Windows Vista machine in the 1st port, a SlingBox AV in the 2nd and piggyback a Linksys ethernet router (not wireless) in the 3rd. Off the Linksys I want to run a XP machine and a Windows 98SE machine. I am also using the Airport Extreme to run my MacBook wirelessly. I will be hooking up a network hard drive and a network printer to the Airport Extreme’s USB port thru a USB hub. Will Netwok Magic with the Mac upgrade do the job? I’m sorry for the complicated question-I worded it as simply as I could. Here’s a link to the Netwok Magic page. Thanx. http://www.networkmagic.com/purchase.php

Yes that is possible, but you’ll need to have the second router on a different subnet than the first one. Example, if the Airport Extreme router is on 192.168.1.x. then you’d need the second router to be on 192.168.2.x

Also, I’d like to add that the network magic program is a complete waste of money in my opinion.
