Aironet wireless dialup
I am in the process of setting up a wireless network. I have an iMac w/airport card, a graphite base station, and two lombard powerbooks. My lombard has a Cisco Aironet 340 wireless card. How do I use it to get the base station to dial up to my ISP (earthlink)? I can do it with the iMac (where Internet Connect changes to use airport), but I can't find anything in the Cisco software to do the same thing. -- Jim Eddy James Eddy Woodworks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Princeton, NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~giametti/index.htm -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Power supplies, Wireless cards
Secondly - I've been using a Lucent wireless card in my old Lombard with the drivers from http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/ and it's been working perfectly at home with my D-Link hub. The other day though, I tried to set up a little peer-to-peer link between it and my TiBook, and couldn't get it to notice the network I'd created from the TiBook. It just sat there saying no signal all the time. one thing you might check. Most 802.11 networks can be set in one of two ways, either infrastructure, or ad-hoc. Most WAPs that I have seen default to infrastructure. I'm not 100% sure if infrastructure mode requires a WAP or not. A google search should turn up that information. You might try setting both of the cards to ad-hoc mode and see if they connect then. Just my $0.02 worth. Steve Fuller -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Your typical electric utility draws its line current out of the big generators with a pair of coil taps located near the top of the dynamo. When the normal tap brushes get dirty, they take them off line to clean them up, and use special auxiliary taps on the bottom of the coil. Now, this is a problem, because when they do that they get not ordinary or `thin' electrons, but the fat'n'sloppy electrons that are heavier and so settle to the bottom of the generator. These flow down ordinary wires just fine, but when they have to turn a sharp corner (as in an integrated-circuit via), they're apt to get stuck.

As I recall, you have to be running a windows machine to update the firmware and I think it's solely to add some functionality relating to windows. Take a look at the readme file. Now the driver from cisco is a different matter. There are two versions available, one which they call an interim release for Jaguar which was released last fall, and a more recent version. The recent version has a serious memory problem in that if you leave it running for long periods of time it will gradually use available memory until you restart your machine. You can tell you have the problem if after a day or so, your computer is using the hard drive inordinately. In process viewer I had instances where 50% of the available memory was being using by the Cisco menu utility. I never could get it to work properly, although cisco engineers are aware of the problem. The older driver works just fine with 10.2.4. As I noted in my prior post, however, you still need something to cause the Base Station to dial out (if that's your connection method) and the ABS Modem utility works great. Incidentally, I downloaded the beta version for OSX and it launched just fine. I'm interested in seeing how it works when I get home tonight. Always before, it would launch in classic.

Have you just opened the Network pane and set yourself to connect via Airport via DHCP server? Kyle H. Hansen Kyle: I just looked at my setup. In the network pane, I don't use Airport.

Re: WALLSTREET /250 0SX 10.2 INSTALL ?? HELP!!
If you plan to update to 10.2 (I strongly recommend), then, install 10.1, then update to 10.2. Then, use the software update that should be smart enough to tell you what update you need. I would imagine that you will need the combo update (10.2.3 and 10.2.4) and then there will be the security update. Make sure you follow the right order or you will have problems, as you have experienced... -Laurent. AH, I HAVE TRIED ALL THE VARIOUS COMBINATIONS... 10.1 then the combo update in the prescribed order , 10.1.5 hangs the machine with a dark screen. 10.2 with or without the prescribed update will also hang the machine after a partial install. I would be happy to get just as far as 10.1.5 (inorder to run a piece of software) but alas I can not seem to solve this problem. I will try to remove some ram (although it has run well with it installed on 9.2.2) The 30 gig HD seems to be ok but I guess I could try to reinstall the orig 5 gig...I am at a loss... TIA Art --- Art, Do try removing any RAM that you may have added. Many user report sites have reported that RAM that may ahve worked like a charm under OS 9, may not work under OS X at all. So, try the original RAM that came with the machine. Two other possibilities, and I can't recall if these have been suggested and tried: 1) remove all USB devices (other than your keyboard and mouse), 2) make sure that your machines firmware is up to date. One could also ensure that any virus protection is off, and that OS 9 is not in Multi-User mode...four, four suggestions. Jerry -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Power supplies, Wireless cards
Secondly - I've been using a Lucent wireless card in my old Lombard with the drivers from http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/ and it's been working perfectly at home with my D-Link hub. The other day though, I tried to set up a little peer-to-peer link between it and my TiBook, and couldn't get it to notice the network I'd created from the TiBook. It just sat there saying no signal all the time. Has anyone ever done anything similar? Is it some fundamental incompatability between the third party stuff and the Apple Airport setup? I've noticed the Lucent stuff is nowhere near as nicely integrated into the System Preferences, but it's never caused me an issue until now. Just out or curiosity, how far is your TiBook from the Lombard when you try to establish the connection? The TiBooks have a notoriously short Airport range (~30ft) so rule out bad TiBook transmission and reception by getting close to the Lombard.

Re: Aironet wireless dialup
I know there are some folks here that know lots more that me about all this, but since I started down this road, I'm going to finish it up. Guys, don't hesitate to tell me if I give wrong advice. On Thursday, March 13, 2003, at 03:12 PM, Jim Eddy wrote: Kyle and John, Thanks for your help here. I've downloaded the utility John mentioned and will try it as soon as I get home tonight.

Should my network connections through the card just be there? No connections to make? If everything is installed properly, you should be connected to the base station (not the internet) as soon as you power up you mac. you did install the cisco driver, right? If you installed the new one, there is icon in your menu bar. pull down the menu and you should be able to open the cisco utility which will tell you whether it's associated with a base station. The only other thing you have to set is the base station itself using the airport admin utility, which is where you set up the number the modem (in the base station) dials out etc, Under the internet tab, you can set whether you have manual or automatic connections. If you do not check the automatic dial then you will have to run the software I told you about in order for the base station to dial out. How do I share files with other computers on the network Well you need to go into your system preferences and select the sharing icon and check the check box for file sharing. That will allow others to log into this computer. Of course you'll need to do the same thing for any other computers you want to log into. While you're there, if you're using a USB printer, go down and check the box for sharing usb printers (or check it on the computer that the usb printer is hooked to.) Also look up above and check out the name of the computer. This is the name that will appear when you try to network to this computer. For example I named my wallstreet, Blackbird. With file sharing enabled, if you go to one of the other computers and while you're in the finder, pull down the GO menu and select connect to at the bottom. The computer you just named will pop up and you can log in. Bear in mind though that how you log in will determine what files you can access. or share the printer on the iMac? Depends on the printer you have. If you have a usb printer, then what we did in the file sharing preference will take care of of setting it up for sharing, although you need to get the printer driver activated for every computer that you want to use this printer. Go to print center (ApplicationsUtilitesPrint Center). Launch it and add the printer. Incidentally, on older (slower) computers like my Wallstreet, I like to add the print center to the applications that launch at start up. You do that again in the system preferences. In the top row is login items. Click the add button, navigate to the print center and choose it. you can check the box so that it's hidden. In my experence, if you don't do that, when you print a document it takes three or four bounces to launch print center before a document prints. Just speed things up. There is one other thing you might need to do depending on the printer. If it's an appletalk network printer, like most apple laser printers or my hewlett packard 6MP printer (essentially most postscript network printers), you have to activate appletalk. Again it's in the system preferences, under the network items, choose the appletalk tab then check the box to turn appletalk on. Incidentally, I have a dedicated line for the modem (but DSL isn't an option, and cable is flakey here). What I want to enable is internet sharing so someone besides my daughter can be on the internet every so often. Father of 3 daughters. Nuff said It may be some configuration problem I don't recognize yet. Wireless is very new to me. I'm trying to not use encryption until I can actually make the network work, then bring in encryption and firewalls as I learn how. Well, when you're in the airport admin utility, when you select the network tab and then check the box to distribute addresses and then the radio button for dhcp and nat, you have activated the firewall in the base station. so if you use dhcp, you already have the firewall. Incidentally, by checking the DHCP radio button in the base station, that's the base station side of the dhcp you selected in the network pane for the cisco card. You know, the Ethernet Adapter (en1). That's what makes the connection automatic. Oh, and when you make all these changes, for the airport admin utility, click update at the bottom and for the system preferences, select apply now at the bottom, so all the changes

You know, the Ethernet Adapter (en1). That's what makes the connection automatic. Oh, and when you make all these changes, for the airport admin utility, click update at the bottom and for the system preferences, select apply now at the bottom, so all the changes take effect. In an earlier post John mentioned a memory problem with the latest Cisco driver. I'd suspected that something was with it, since I have been getting the pinwheel cursor a lot since I installed the software a few days ago. I'm now downloading the earlier v.2.11 driver to see if there's an improvement. Thanks for all the help.

2.5 HD Enclosures: ME-910U2
Hal, and others: BULLETIN: I see that googlegear.com is today offering the IBM/Hitachi 40GB Travelstar 40GNX for $138 with FREE 2 day shipping. I received yesterday the USB2 housing for 2.5 hard drives (Triumph Technologies, model ME-910U2). Here are my notes and observations. I was able to mount a disk from this enclosure under OS 10.2.4 on my Pismo and, after disabling non-system extensions, was able to mount it under OS 9.2.2 as well, though it kept disabling my USB mouse. I was unable to get my Pismo to boot into OS 9.2.2 from the drive, and didn't want to wait an hour for OS X to clone over the slow-Apple USB 1.1 interface. However, I did mount it with a G3 iMac DV under OS 9.2, and successfully booted that iMac from it! When I tried the ME-910U2 enclosure on an original bondi-blue iMac under OS 8.6, however, it would not mount the drive and froze up the system, requiring a forcible re-boot. The enclosure mounts and works well on a G3-equipped PowerMac 7200 under Mac OS 8.6, having a 3-slot USB PCI card. However, after loading the OS 8.6 system folder onto the drive, I was unable to boot from the enclosure. I also noted that on this PowerMac, Drive Setup did not recognize the drive and was unable to format it. To summarize, for this ME-910U2 (USB2/1.1) enclosure, containing a 2.5 Fujitsu 12.7mm high 2.1 GB notebook hard drive, formatted to MacOS Extended by the Pismo under Jaguar: MACINTOSH MODEL OS MOUNTS? BOOTABLE? iMac (Bondi Blue) 8.6 NoNo Powerbook (Pismo) 9.2.2 Yes No Powerbook (Pismo) 10.2.4 Yes ? iMac DV 400MHz 9.2.2 Yes Yes PowerMac 7200* 8.6 Yes No *equipped with Sonnet Crescendo 7200 G3/400Mhz. I hope this helps someone. --Jim. I previously wrote: Subject: RE: Hard drives (ME-910U2F) Hal, and others: Today I tried booting my Pismo with the ME-910U2F via the USB port (that's the combination Firewire/USB2 housing). I was unable to persuade the Pismo to boot via USB. I did successfully boot via the Firewire port on this same housing, into both OS 9 and OS X, as previously noted. Thus, I do not expect that the ME-910U2 (the dual USB2 enclosure), nor the ME-911U (the differently-styled USB1.1 enclosure) would be bootable on my Pismo either, nor on the 7200 I previously mentioned. They may be able to mount the drives; however, I don't know yet. --Jim. Jim wrote: However, for sure the firewire enclosure is bootable from a Pismo, if you have a suitable system on it. This is why I was so happy. That it works via USB is gravy. I have not yet tried this enclosure by USB connection to an accelerated PowerMac 7200 system running MacOS 8.6, but will do so in a week's time (the 7200 has a USB PCI card also). All sales literature suggests that it will work. I will report my experience in due course. Hal wrote: Are these enclosures bootable on the Mac? I've found that finding a bootable firewire enclosure (even with Oxford 911) is hit-and-miss.

Might I also suggest you investigate the external housing options by triumph technologies, for your surplus drive? (specifically, the model me-910 series) They make dual USB2, dual Firewire, and combo USB2/firewire enclosures, which ARE Mac compatible (and use the oxford 911 bridge for the firewire part). The USB2 is of course backwards compatible to USB 1.1. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Slow OS X Video in Lombard
Aqua looks great on the Lombard I got this week, but the screen saver runs much slower than it does on my 350 mhz iMac. I thought 10.2 was supposed to support the Lombard video card. Do I need to download some drivers? I notice that in 10.2.3 I saw the zoom in and out effect in the screen saver. Now that is gone and the screen saver is slower.
