Re: Dead Pismo
To All the kind folks on this list who provided suggestions it was, in fact, the daughter card seating that was the problem. It does in fact take so much force you think you may break it, but when it seats you can feel it pop into place. With the new 40 GB hard drive and extra half gig of memory, it seems to be much more responsive than before. Will be getting a firewire case for the old 10 GB drive which I will use for working on videos of the grandaughter.

Re: Personal Laserwriter printing from Pismo
Got a question for you networking types. I've got a Personal Laserwriter 300 that works wonderfully with my G3 DT but my wife wants to be able to print to it from her Pismo. Is there any way to share the printer somehow? The computers currently are not networked, but I can do that with a crossover cable and file sharing on the G3. My question is really how to get her Pismo to be able to see the printer. Let me know if anyone has any ideas or has hooked up one of these printers to a PB. Thanks! Unfortunately, that's the only way. Others who mentioned the 320 or Enet/LocalTalk adapters refer to AppleTalk printers. The 300's good, but USB-serial converters don't work with serial laser printers. Only suggestion I can think of is to revert to a Wallstreet ;-) Cheers, RD Remy Davison Contributing Editor/News Editor, Insanely-Great Mac http://www.insanely-great.com mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RD's PowerBook page: http://www.macpowerbook.com -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Personal Laserwriter printing from Pismo
I haven't found anything in OS X that works, but I have the same printer hooked up to my old 6500 (OS 8.6). I then have the 6500 connected via a crossover cable to my iMac DV running OS 9.2.2. On the 6500 I designate the printer as a shared printer, and then can print on my iMac through the 6500. I would think I could do that with my iBook (500), too, if I was in Classic. But I haven't tried. Philip Got a question for you networking types.

Airport questions
I've just started using Airport on my Pismo (G3 Firewire) and it is wonderful. Some questions that ya'll may be able to help me with are: 1) I get the message on my Airport screen that 'false encryption' is there. What does that mean? The folks who run the system said to check with the experts -- meaning ya'll. 2) How do you deal with the glare of the sun and bright lights when using Airport near a window or outside? I thought of an old fashioned camera shade that goes from the screen to the back of my head, but that may not be appreciated. 3) Why are there so few people using the wireless connections? The access is free and legal but I am the only one using it in the mornings in a large mall type place in Florida. 4) Why are the free access places so poorly marketed? It's as if the geeks are in charge of the marketing, i.e., 'we built it, so they'll come' marketing. 5) Why have libraries been so obstinate and pigheaded, even reactionary, about adopting wireless? They should be the leaders. 6) Are those great maps the wifi folks in Pitt are creating showing any meaningful growth patterns? Or are they still a function of who has been wandering around again? dh -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Because they don't know about it. 4) Why are the free access places so poorly marketed? It's as if the geeks are in charge of the marketing, i.e., 'we built it, so they'll come' marketing. Hence observation #3. Moreover, they want to be able to hog the bandwidth for them and their buddies so they can go on marathon Quake fragfests... 5) Why have libraries been so obstinate and pigheaded, even reactionary, about adopting wireless? They should be the leaders. For one thing, it's expensive. Libraries are not cheap to run, and apparently the American public believes that this stuff falls from the trees, since they consistently whinge about 'My taxes are too high!' and 'My municipal services suck!' without seeing the linkage betwixt the two. When forced to choose between giving you free internet access and buying books, they'll buy books every time. Secondly, they are *really* worried about being held responsible if other systems are attacked via their network access. This is the same reason we're not allowing free wireless access here, or for that matter, free DHCP access; you gotta register with us to put a system on our network. They're not reactionary...you're insufficiently paranoid. :-( What do *you* do when the FBI busts down your door and points automatic weapons at you and your family, because some hacker's been squatting outside your apartment, using *your* Airport to attack, say, the Pentagon, the FAA's ATC system, or Hoover Dam's floodgates. The feds just passed a law making hacking a system that leads to death or injury punishable by *life in prison*. Dunno 'bout you, but *I'm* not gonna let any old Tom, Dick or Harry use my wifi...not in the face of life in Leavenworth next to Aldrich Ames... -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Airport card and cisco wireless network
Try adding a DNS to your computer and see if that helps. If you can't find the campus DNS numbers use charters. 66.169.96.2, 66.169.96.1 Lee On 08/16/02 8:13 PM, Paul D.

My airport card can connect to the Cisco wireless network and I can send and receive intranet email. However, when I try to go outside our site, I keep getting no route to host errors in ping in the network utility. This does not happen in network.
