Re: Ethernet cable
Hi Tom, There are guidelines for wiring the connectors. This link (grabbed at random) covers some of it. http://www.ertyu.org/~steven_nikkel/ethernetcables.html The important thing to remember is... for a standard, straight through cable both connectors must be wired in the exact same order. Keeping the colors straight is nice, but not required. Just make sure pin 1 is wired to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2 and so on. The crossover cable (direct connect, computer to computer) is a different animal altogether and I won't pretend to remember how that works. I've made just one of them in over 15 years.

Re: web page design

Re: is my iBook screwed
If moving or squeezing the display corrects or worsens the problem its probably the display ribbon. There is a recall for G3 iBooks, see the Apple site for details. John Sigh, the day I am off on holidays my faithful G3 iBook seems to have developed terminal symptoms. The screen has developed thin horizontal black lines and there is a ghosting effect going on at the same time. The whole computer is frozen. I noticed this happened when I picked up the laptop and had gently squeezed above and below as I was carrying it. Please tell me it is something simple and that Apple will fix it grin! Pat ;) p.s. I can restart and it will work occasionally but the minute I touch it then all hell breaks loose. -- QUOTE OF THE DAY: If stupidity got me into this mess, than why the hell can't it get me out? -- The difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits. - Albert Einstein -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Orinoco Silver or Gold?
Do I need a Orinoco Gold 802.11b Wireless PC Card instead of Orinoco Silver 802.11b PC Card for my Lombard OS 9.1...because airport won't work and I am running os 9.1 so the Belkin card won't work... no. the pismo is the first one that used the internal airport card, i fitted my aunt's lombard with a belkin card on the pc slot. it only works in os X. Clark Martin's email said For a Lombard you will need a PC Card. Orinoco Silver or Gold, (non-CardBus) will do. There are others. The Orinoco cards at least will work with Airport software under OS 9. The Gold version antenna includes a built-in connector for an external Range Extender Antenna which improves performance locations where it is difficult to 'see' an Access Point. but will it fit my PC slot physically, and run with os 9.1? I assume it comes with drivers. Kristina with dsl earthlink and general fume with sprint windows/mac techies ...but no dsl or earthlink for the Lombard...my original intent. Amazon.com (who did not have one) Orinoco Silver 802.11b PC Card * Proxim Orinoco 8420-WD 11b Client PC Card (Gold) by Proxim, Inc.

Our Customers' Advice * 1 person recommended Orinoco Gold 802.11b Wireless PC Card instead of Orinoco Silver 802.11b PC Card Product Description From the Manufacturer The ORiNOCO 11b Client PC Card can be used anywhere to connect to 802.11b Wi-Fi networks. The card provides 11 MBit/s operation in the 2.4 GHz license-free frequency band. With superior radio performance and resilience to radio interference, ORiNOCO has been proven to give the best 802.11b range and throughput in the industry. The card also supports 802.11d global roaming to simplify connecting at facilities world-wide. Offered in Silver and Gold versions, the card is equipped with a choice of security levels to protect your data: Silver with a 64-bit WEP key, or Gold with user selectable 64- and 128-bit WEP keys. Both versions support ORiNOCO's WEP+ weak key Initialization Vector suppression technology to make the cards more robust against security attacks. Both versions are upgradeable to Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Both Gold and Silver versions of the card are furnished with a streamlined form factor and short antenna which makes it easier to work in crowded spaces. The Gold version antenna includes a built-in connector for an external Range Extender Antenna which improves performance locations where it is difficult to 'see' an Access Point. The hardware works quite well with Linux, The Mac, and Win2K, but the product has been bounced around so much since Lucent's original release, finding current drivers and documentation is a major undertaking. Tech-support from its current owner doesn't respond to inquiries, and the software for configuration suffers in comparison to other vendors, such as Apple. If you're into mucking around the web or newsgroups, you can get help- once you get it to work, it does perform quite well. Was this review helpful to you?

However, in certain cases (like with memory sticks for example) the difference is drastic. Here is yet another case. It's well known among the techie community that Orinoco's (either silver or gold) are the best wireless cards, and by a wide margin. Their performance is a drastic improvement over any other card, and as evidenced in one of the ratings, this card allows you to use your computer/laptop in places you wouldn't think possible.

Re: Apple laserwriter 4/600ps Pismo? or newer powerbook?
The adapters are pricy, so I think looking for a new printer is the way to go, But it's just a shame to give up this laserprinter that has nothing wrong with it! Thanks to everyone for info on this! Kim Oups! After reading my reply, I realize that you might not even be able to connect the printer to your Pismo. Since I think this printer has only serial connection, I'm thinking that you might not even be able to use it with your Pismo. Sure, you could buy a Serial-to-USB adapter, but I'm not sure this old printer would be worth the cost and the trouble to get it hooked to your Pismo. FYI, I found a used LaserWriter 16/600PS on eBay a few months ago for $80. This printer has built-in Ethernet (actually, it has a FriendlyNet kind of connector, so you need a FriendlyNet adaptor, also available for about $5 on eBay), and the printer is fully supported under OS X.

Re: battery power on wifi, G3 clamshell
After some initial problems with batteries we bought a new battery for 466 clamshell ibook and we get somewhere around 4- 4 1/2 hours use with airport. If watching a DVD you get full film plus about an hour. That is running latest version of Panther mind you. Watch out for funny battery problems when updating OS!

It says it will work for like close to 2 hours. Does the battery need replacing or is this average for an older laptop? I noticed it gets down to a certain level with the battery displaying in red and then *boom* it shuts down and goes into sleep mode til I plug it back in. Any solutions or ideas?

Two questions (sort of OT)
My first is in regards to my iPod. It has lately acquired a very audible whirring noise. Not to be read as loud, but it is louder than when I first bought it last summer. I posted this to the apple forums but got little help on the issue there. One guy assumed i was using a PC, despite the fact that my iBook was listed on my post as the computer I used, and recommended I defragment the iPod, but have found no material regarding this in the iPod help files or on the apple site. Is this possible? Is this likely to be the problem? Should I just ignore it? Is it even a problem? Second is the issue of USB jump drives. The one I had was recently stolen, so I lost it and all of the work, school and personal data I had saved on it. I will be buying a new jump drive soon, so I thought this: I can make my iBook next to unusable to anyone who decides to try to walk off with it, can i do the same with a USB jump drive? All I mean is, can I password protect the entire thing so that any person who decides to take it for a walk cannot access ay of the files on it, and can't format it as well?

Re: Airport Question
Is true that PC card wireless cards are cheaper and easier to find than Airport cards. I too have an Airport in my iBook G3 900. It's important to understand that the protocol used to communicate over a network is TCP/IP and wireless 802.11b/g. These protocols are not platform specific. To give you an idea, let's use my home network as an example. I have a cable modem, Linksys Wireless B router, two Mac desktops running wired to the router; one iBook with Airport, and one Win XP laptop with a Linksys wireless B PC card. The standard of communications wirelessly is 802.11b. The router doesn't care if it's an iBook running OS X or Win XP with any wireless PC card. iBooks don't have a PC card slot, so a PC card wireless card is not an option. There are very few PC cards that do work with Macs. They only work with PowerBooks since they have PC card slots in them. I prefer Linksys over D-link for quality and trouble free usage. When you get the router don't bother running any install programs (probably won't have an installer for Mac anyway) since they are not needed. Each router has a way for the router to be accessed through a web page interface. You'll see directions for that in the manual. This is important because you will want to lock down your wireless network with a WEP to keep folks from using your wireless signal to surf w/o your knowledge. --- Amanda Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I'm looking for a wireless card for my G3 icebook.

Should I Consider Buying G4 Titanium
I have a chance to buy an earliest model Titanium. Don't know the specs on it yet. But should I seriously consider it or just hold my nose and ignore it?

Mainstreet/Lombard conundrum
I have a Mainstreet and a Lombard, both in good shape. I want to upgrade one of them for everyday use until I can afford a new laptop. I have 2 uses other than normal stuff: 1. I have an ap that uses a 2nd monitor (or TV) for general use by an audience. If you *must* know, it's a karaoke ap. Say what you will ;) It also uses an external firewire hard drive. I have a Newer Firewire cardbus card. 2. I want to be able to watch DVDs when I take the train across country. I can upgrade the Lombard's cpu by sending it in. I can upgrade the Mainstreet's cpu by purchasing an upgrade and installing it myself. I'm not even sure if you can upgrade a Mainstreet to watch DVDs, or if they make an internal (slide-in) DVD drive for them.

I would have expected that you would have: - Connected the router to the DSL modem - Connected the power supply to the modem - Connected the power supply to the router The result _should_ have been that the modem got its IP from the central switch, the router would have gotten an address from the modem, and then the router would have served addresses to client machines. Did you get setup instructions with your DSL service? It may be that you will have to direct connect to the router via ethernet cable to configure it (assuming a browser interface?).

Re: Mainstreet/Lombard conundrum
I have a Mainstreet and a Lombard, both in good shape. I want to upgrade one of them for everyday use until I can afford a new laptop. I have 2 uses other than normal stuff: 1. I have an ap that uses a 2nd monitor (or TV) for general use by an audience. If you *must* know, it's a karaoke ap. Say what you will ;) It also uses an external firewire hard drive. I have a Newer Firewire cardbus card. 2. I want to be able to watch DVDs when I take the train across country. I can upgrade the Lombard's cpu by sending it in. I can upgrade the Mainstreet's cpu by purchasing an upgrade and installing it myself. I'm not even sure if you can upgrade a Mainstreet to watch DVDs, or if they make an internal (slide-in) DVD drive for them. Suggestions, thoughts? If I understood the question I could offer a suggestion. Both machines run the FW HD without upgrade. Both machines run DVD with the DVD drive and a hardware Decoder. Both machines can be upgraded to be better.

Re: is my iBook screwed
http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/ Mine did that. Very un-nerving experience. Find out if your serial number matches the range in this kb article. They all do. It covers all G3s. If so, call Apple and arrange a dispatch. They will send you a box via DHL overnight. You box it up and send it off. It'll be back inside three days. And you'll get a new logic board to boot. Only if they agree it is the video chip at fault and there is no other issue. AND you are not in UK. We have to take ours to a dealer. Who may 9 weeks later tell you that you have a non-repairable fault. Which is in fact a screen fault they caused, fixed by reseating the data cable in the LCD - or I could have accepted their 750 USD repair quote. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Tom, Dummies books are always a good place to start. Simple, easy to read with plenty of info.

I'd try the ones folks mentioned. They'd be good for cutting your teeth on HTML. Try and get a GUI page builder were you can view the pages source code so you can get a feel for the code.

Re: web page design
Hi. I want to design a small web site. A few pics, some links, not too much. Can you suggest a helpful book to read first? And a good application to use? Thanks. nVU is a free gui web page program, based on the Mozilla engine, and more robust than Composer. http://www.nvu.com Bruce Johnson Last summer I was in the Apple store in Austin, TX, and asked the same question. They suggested Freeway Express, the $99 lite version of Freeway Pro. I bought it and I love it. You never have to handle code with this software if you don't want to; in fact, I still don't know how to use code, and I've maintained a fairly active website for a local youth sports program since last September with this software. You can actually start with a very simple site, and then as you become more familiar with the software, you find that you can do quite a bit with it. Of course, should your interest and ability grow, you can always upgrade to Freeway Pro. I am also a member of a very active Freeway User Group that includes some very knowledgeable professionals in its membership.
