Ethermax Ethernet Docking Station and BigPond Next G
Hi Is there anybody out there successfully using the Maxon Ethermax Ethernet Docking Station in conjunction with a BigPond USB (Blue) Wireless Desktop Modem and Next G ? All I want to do is set up a network that uses my existing standard Ethernet Hub/Switch with the Ethermax to Internet share and printer share between two Macs (a G3 iBook G5 iMac). The BigPond USB modem will not allow me to use the inbuilt Internet sharing of the Mac OS and also prevents networking for Printer Sharing. If I want to Network my computers (via hub Cables) I have to physically disconnect the Modem. (which invariably plays up the next time I reconnect it for use) Maxon website suggests the Ethermax Docking Station is the answer...I've researched around some relevant forums...info/ experiences seem a little mixed. Just like some thoughts from Mac users before I fork out the $299.00.

Re: banking problems answer to Ronni
Hi Martin, Well, Broadbandnet say their Satellite always on' Broadband Internet access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The basic connection speed is 512 kbps download 64 Kbs upload. As there are 8Kb (kilobits) in every KB (kilobyte) ... and you are saying you are downloading at 46KBps (kilobytes), my calculation by multiplying your 46KB (kilobyte) by 8 = 368 Kbps transfer rate. Which seems to indicate it is slower than what Broadbandnet are saying it should be? If my calculations are wrong, I stand corrected ;-) Cheers, Ronni On 01/10/2008, at 5:01 PM, Martin Sulkowski wrote: Hi ronni I can go everywhere on the internet and have connection,I'm connected with a Linkstar S2 modem to a satellite dish with broadbandnet.

Re: Ethermax Ethernet Docking Station and BigPond Next G
Neil, I use this product at home, although I didn't like having to fork out an extra $299 just because Telstra forces you to use a USB modem. Once it is all set up, however, you can configure your network as you wish. I find that the modem itself needs to be rebooted from time to time (sometimes more than once a day, sometimes not for several days). To summarise, if you are keen to use an outrageously expensive, slow service with a low bandwidth quota (I think we pay $100 a month for 3 Gigs) like Telstra, then go for it. Unfortunately there was no other option where I live...

How to Share (wirelessly) External Drive connected to MacBook Pro
Hi Background I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.1 I have a Western Digital 2 TB drive connected to it - it has been formatted in Mac OS I believe I have opened all the sharing preferences I can find to share pretty much everything on the MacBook Pro. I have am using a wireless modem and have airport turned on with excellent signal strength Problem I have been trying to access the WD drive wirelessly via the MacBook Pro from my HD STB (Beyonwiz). Previously I had the WD drive hanging of my PC Windows Vista beast and had no problems accessing the drive contents via my HD STB so it can be done. I can see the MacBook Pro listed as a computer to connect to, from my HD STB however when I select it I cannot see any folders or files or even the desktop for the MacBook Pro. I in fact can see the Epson printer I have connected to MacBook Pro, but cannot even see the Shared folder, so it leads me to think I am not flicking a sharing toggle somewhere. I am not so familiar with the Mac OS as I am with Vista but I know enough to be dangerous. Any assistance or ideas would be appreciated.

Re: windows virus scanner
Personally, I use CA Anti-Virus from Computer Associates - I've had good experiences with their products in the corporate and personal environment. It has a small footprint and have a multi-license for home users - In the free field, I find AVG a bit slow and unreliable in terms of finding viruses and prefer Avast - though, this requires a yearly registration, which is free. Not having a go at the free products as CA used to provide a free home user license but I think that if want to be sure your Windows box is safe, it's best to put a few bucks down a year and get a decent antivirus product - kind of like paying for a car service, since for some reason, computers always get a car analogy attached to them. Having said that, really not a fan of Norton products, due to their hunger for resources and their reluctance to be removed, should their be an issue with the software that needs fixing. I always enjoy the experience of helping someone at home with think I have a virus type queries and discovering a 30 day trial version of Norton Security Suite 2005 - no really. Anyhow, YMMV.

Re: How to Share (wirelessly) External Drive connected to MacBook Pro
Apple for reasons best known to them crippled the personal file- sharing model in Mac OS X taking out the ability to select a folder or volume as a sharepoint. While this has been put back in 10.5 you can restore some of the functionality in previous OS versions by using the shareware software Sharepoints http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/ On 02/10/2008, at 8:48 AM, Stephen Edwards wrote: Hi Background I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.1 I have a Western Digital 2 TB drive connected to it - it has been formatted in Mac OS I believe I have opened all the sharing preferences I can find to share pretty much everything on the MacBook Pro.

Re: banking problems answer to Ronni
sorry your calculation has a small mistake, in serial connection (which broadband is) there are a start bit - 8 data bits - a stop bit which are 10 bits per data byte, thus thus kbp/s divided by 10 gives KBp/s, additionally if there are server delays and many other things (noise) sitting on the line, then the data rate can drop significantly..(especially in wireless) cheers James On 01/10/2008, at 19:00, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Martin, Well, Broadbandnet say their Satellite always on' Broadband Internet access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Re: Ethermax Ethernet Docking Station and BigPond Next G
Hi Andrew Thanks for your info. (I believe I may have spoken with you at the end of last year when I was enquiring about BIgPond NextG experiences, but I no longer have the relevant emails) I hear the resignation in your voicelike you, I had no choice but to use BigPond Wireless NextG if I wanted to access Broadband. At least we got a price reduction in the plans at the end of August (though extra usage increased to 0.25c/MB) but, compared to ADSL users, we are still getting taken to the cleaners. ( I am currently on the $60 for 1 GB plan) I may go with the Ethermax...but Gary has just emailed me off list with a suggestion that the Aiport Extreme Base Station might be an alternative...though I have no idea if it will work in the same way as the Ethermax.

To summarise, if you are keen to use an outrageously expensive, slow service with a low bandwidth quota (I think we pay $100 a month for 3 Gigs) like Telstra, then go for it. Unfortunately there was no other option where I live...

HM haven't got a clue ...proxys are switched off...Besides this haven't changed anything cheers Martin On 01/10/2008, at 8:25 PM, Robert Howells wrote: On 30/09/2008, at 3:03 PM, Martin Sulkowski wrote: I'm trying since 3 days doing internet banking safari 3.1.2 firefox 3.0.3 but not sucessfully any ideas Martin Martin , We have been making some guess's that this was a working connection that suddenly has stopped working ! Is that correct ? How long had it been working on this set up ? Have you changed anything ... added another Mac , or something ?

I know, I know ... maybe there was some click here or some click there that hasn't worked, but it's happened before and I'm extra careful to try and get it right. Never had this problem with Entourage. Sad to say, as much as I like Mail and MobileMe syncing, I reckon the iCal To Do function sucks. Cheesed, Steven Hi Steven I'm sorry about the late fee you incurred. I use iCal Alarms all the time to remind me to pay my Credit Card and other Accounts, it has not let me down. I set up different alarms, some to 'Email me 29 hours before' 'Message with Sound 15mins before' etc, so far they always arrived on the time set. So I don't know why your alarm didn't work? iCal 3.0.5 / Mail 3.5 / Mac OSX 10.5.5 Cheers, Ronni -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Ethermax Ethernet Docking Station and BigPond Next G
Neil, I fiddled around with the Airport extreme base station, but found it a pain with the USB modem. I now use the ethermax for DHCP and the base station to handle wireless clients. Whichever way you go, give me a hoy off list if you need a hand. Ciao, Andrew Thanks for your info. (I believe I may have spoken with you at the end of last year when I was enquiring about BIgPond NextG experiences, but I no longer have the relevant emails) I hear the resignation in your voicelike you, I had no choice but to use BigPond Wireless NextG if I wanted to access Broadband. At least we got a price reduction in the plans at the end of August (though extra usage increased to 0.25c/MB) but, compared to ADSL users, we are still getting taken to the cleaners. ( I am currently on the $60 for 1 GB plan) I may go with the Ethermax...but Gary has just emailed me off list with a suggestion that the Aiport Extreme Base Station might be an alternative...though I have no idea if it will work in the same way as the Ethermax. I will investigate furtherthanks again Neil On 02/10/2008, at 8:43 AM, Andrew Schox wrote: Neil, I use this product at home, although I didn't like having to fork out an extra $299 just because Telstra forces you to use a USB modem.
