bridging/extending airport networks
Anyone know a good/easy way to extend airport networks (not extreme) by using base stations as repeaters? I've heard that this is a standard feature in airport extreme, but I have the older model. I'm trying to extend my coverage to my whole house and my one graphite base station is coming up short. Besides, I need coverage in my backyard as well. :-) Any help is appreciated. -Hal -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Wallstreet screen dark after wake from sleep fix
I know this is a common problem but I don't know if this fix is well known. My Wallstreet (OS 10.2.6) started not lighting the screen after waking from sleep and restart. After looking around I found a suggestion of booting into OS 9, sleeping it, waking it and switching back to OS X. I tried this and it worked. It started having problems after the battery popped loose when it was asleep. I had some problems setting the start up disk in OS 9 but I think that was another problem (I ended up having to update the disk driver and run DFA on the boot disk). Anyways I figured I'd post this as from my reading the problem is common but I didn't find the solution until after a lot of digging. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iBook 700 and date time error on start-up
On 07/25/2003, Richard Smykla apparently wrote: Michael, Sounds like your PRAM battery needs replacing. R Hi, Our iBook 700 running 9.2.2 has developed the strangest error. On restart/boot, it gives a date time error message at finder launch that says the time zone is invalid. It also turns off Appletalk. Anyone heard of this before or know of a fix? I've searched but not found anything. Thanks! Michael However, I have had that problem without the PRAM battery needing replacement. In my case, I had St. Louis listed as a city in my time zone, which was one of the choices given in the Date and Time control panel. This after a while, led to the Time zone is invalid message (possibly connected to the Location Manager, since the error messages began after I added some locations in it). After I changed the city in Date Time to Chicago, it went away. I think after I had (for other reasons) to re-install my system, I was able to select the St. Louis in DTime again without getting the error message. I found it puzzling that one selection from Apple's choices in Date Time gave me the error messages (for any period of time), but another selection in that same list would not.

Wallstreet Woes
Hello All, I have a Powerbook Wallstreet 266 that had a bad power board connector (small board with audio and power connectors on it.) I attempted to resolder the power board connector with one pulled from a Duo 230...worked worse than i had expected. The board smoked. So after bidding around on eBay, i got a new one, installed it, and i could power the wallstreet, but ANOTHER problem had arisen. The connector seemed to have a bad contact somewhere, the powerbook would shut off when moved ever so slightly on my desk. I figured something must be mis-seated, so i took the Wallstreet apart, and reseated everything, uncluding the processor. Now the Wallstreet does nothing. I'm stumped...any help would be greatly appreciated. Much Thanks in advance. Harlan Knight __ McAfee VirusScan Online from the Netscape Network. Comprehensive protection for your entire computer.
