Re: USB to ethernet

2004-02-26 Thread Wayne Schneck
Does anyone know if there is a Mac compatible (Mac OSX) usb-ethernet 
adapter that would work with a usb printer. The idea is to hook the 
printer to the ethernet port of the D-Link wireless router to use with 
our wireless notebooks.

I can use a wireless usb print server, but I want to investigate a more 
economical solution (if there is one). Thanks for all the help in 
advance.

Noisy harddrive ?

2004-02-26 Thread Larry le Mac
Hi! :o)

I have a 500MHz Pismo with a noisy 20GB drive.

Mayby I should say whiney as I doubt the drive is
about to expire.
I am currently trying to eliminate all grey sounds from
my office room as I really suffer from noise polution,
and now that I have blocked the air vent etc. it's the
ac which makes the most noise.
Grinding, hammering and so on doesn't bother me
the slightest, but humming, whining drives me up the
phu**ing wall...
Anyway, my questing is this, is there anything one can
do other than actually replace the drive ?
I have set the drive to stop automatically but there always
seems to be a reason for it to start again immediately...

I'm afraid there isn't a lot you can do. These drives are sealed, so you
can't lubricate anything. So, short of replacing the drive, I don't know
what else you can do...

Re: OT: Internet Service Provider?

2004-02-26 Thread Greg Gilmore
There was a discussion the other day about ISPs for 56K, and Earthlink was
mentioned several times. I experienced frustratingly frequent disconnections
with them, though I'm not sure what was to blame for that.

I've been using NetZero now, however, for several weeks and have had zero
problems, and it's less than half the cost of Earthlink's service, i.e.
$9.95/month. The download, either OS 9 or 10, is very quick and is
unobtrusive. (They'll even give me $20 for anyone who signs up and cites me
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as their reference, and I'll donate half of anything
I get from them to G-Books.)

What download? You have to use their software to access the Internet? 
Can you not just use Safari and Mail (or whatever browser and email 
program you choose)? If that's the case, that's a strong argument (to 
me, at least) against using them. With Earthlink, you can ignore their 
software (as I do) and use whatever you want.

How is their customer service/tech support?

Another very good ISP that's relatively inexpensive, is CyberWize.net. 
$14.95 a month, with 24/7/365 live (and knowledgeable) tech support. 
For info, see www.hc.cyberwize.net.

OT: ISPs

2004-02-26 Thread Gary Goldberg
I like Earthlink because of SpamBlocker, which has been
GREAT at catching spam before it gets to my Inbox on
my dialup account.

I don't use any Earthlink software at all, which means I
had to enter all the names in my Address Book to their
online site. It's been worth it.

As for dropped connections, I think this is a problem
with my Wall Street's modem. It doesn't happen with
my Amigas using the same phone jack, same account,
and an external modem for the Amigas.

Spam Volume [was : Re: OT: Internet Service Provider?]

2004-02-26 Thread Doug Behr
 people. Another thing that has been a real treat
 is that with earthlink
 I was inundated with BAD spam (you know what I
 mean) to the tune of 20
 to 30 a day. With Verizon I get none, absolutely
 none. I hope I don't
 jinx it by saying that out loud on a list. Go for
 it.

One reason you're probably seeing less spam is that
you have a new e-mail address...

If your new address is posted on the web, it will be
only a matter of time before it is harvested and the
spam begins again.

My primary e-mail address (and about two dozen
forwarding aliases) appear all over my various web
sites.  Because of this I receive about 2000 UCE per
month.  I recently posted a totally fresh address (new
address, new domain, etc) on a web site for which I've
done from freelance work.  I started receiving spam
and virus infected e-mails on that address within 3
weeks of it appearing on the 'net.

As far as I can tell, as long as there is e-mail,
there will be spam.

iBook+iMac to share modem connection?

2004-02-26 Thread Jim
Gianfranco:

It's really easy!  All that's needed is the appropriate Airport cards 
for each computer.  Note that the iMac will also require a special 
holder for the card, and either Small Dog Electronics 
(list-sponsor--yay!) or Other World Computing, or any other mail-order 
firm that is wise to Macintosh can reaffirm exactly which card and 
adapter is needed for the two Macs.

After installing the Airport cards into the laptop and the iMac (which 
is easy to do yourself), then you use the iMac's modem to dial up the 
internet.  Then you use the built-in Airport Software to establish a 
Software Base Station, which lets the iMac itself be the base 
station!  Then all you need to do is join the wireless net with the 
laptop!  Yes, you can also do filesharing and local-area-networking 
over this wireless arrangement (whether or not you've dialed up the 
internet).  The only drawback to this is that whenever you want to go 
online with the laptop, you must have the iMac on and connected to the 
internet.

In my case, my DSL line comes in the house at an inconvenient place, so 
I just have an Airport base station there, and use the iMac and 
powerbook elsewhere in the house.  One or both.  So long as the base 
station is on and active, regardless of whether it's plugged into the 
internet, I can still share files from one mac to the other.

Hope this helps!

--Jim.

You have to use their software only to dial up. After you're logged on, you
can use the browser and e-mailer of your choice. Haven't had to use their
service/tech support so I cannot comment. Am using it with OS9 and it works
great, and I assume it works well with OSX as well but have no experience.

AirPort problem

2004-02-26 Thread Laurent Daudelin
I've been having problems with my graphite AirPort Base Station. I had to
replace the 2 blown capacitors to make it work again. I'm not using it much
since it is much faster to use built-in Ethernet when moving large files
between my PowerBook and my Blue  White (both at 100Mbps).

Last weekend, I had to temporary move to a different room with my Pismo. I
then realized that I was unable to connect to my ABS.

I did disassemble it to see if something was wrong from my repair or
otherwise. Didn't find anything. I tried using another Wavelan card in it to
no avail.

Then, by pure coincidence, I found out that if I would put it within 2 feet
of my Pismo, I was able to connect to it. Moving the base station a couple
of feet and I would lose the signal completely. Using Internet Connect and
KisMAC, I did monitor the signal while moving it out and in both software,
the signal drops to nothing all of a sudden.

I then proceeded to open my Pismo to check my internal AirPort card. I did
unplug the internal antenna. Everything seems to be fine.

Is it possible that the internal antenna wire has been broken up, resulting
in that bad reception? I haven't been rough or anything with my Pismo,
taking it to work every day but that's pretty much it. Although, a couple of
months ago, I had to reseat the processor daughtercard. The base station is
sitting where it has always been sitting. There are no new phone or anything
that could cause interference.

So, did anybody ever experience something like this?

-Laurent.

About the only thing I can think of is to put the drive in an

My Pismo's original hard drive developed a very loud and very
annoying whine.  It was always a bit on the loud side, but it got
a lot worse.  So much so that I no longer wanted to use it. :(

I considered an external enclosure for the hard drive, but I figured
that if was making that much noise that the drive might be likely to
fail soon; so I bit the bullet and got a new hard drive:

  URL:http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm?Category=2300

Very quick; very fast; very pleasant to use (again!)

There are less expensive drives available, but make sure to at least
get one with fluid bearings.  A larger cache (at least 8MB) is good
too.

Hope this helps,

then I don't have all that much trouble. I like the idea of the money

Wayne, what you are looking for is a USB-Ethernet Print Server.  I have 
one (actually it's a USB-802.11 Wireless Print Server) and it uses a 
built-in webserver to be configured.  Works like a champ.  D-Link makes 
them, so does HP and a couple of others.  Check to make sure that your 
USB print server is compatible.  They run around $75-80.

Re: OT: Internet Service Provider?

2004-02-26 Thread Wayne Schneck
Net Zero has giving me nothing but trouble. I tried to use them for my 
Mom and her Imac, after their site crashed twice trying to sign up, we 
went and renewed her back in Earthlink. Then a few weeks go by and she 
received a welcome letter to Net Zero, we replied that we had not 
finished the application process, but if it did go through by some 
miracle, then we wanted to cancel since we did not use it at all. A few 
more weeks go by and the same email comes back, we cancelled again by 
email and also on their website.

We never saw any charges for 2 months on her credit card, then on the 
3rd month, she was charged for all 3 months (and we never signed on for 
their service). We have been fighting this ever since.

One more note about Net Zero, in order to speak with a live person for 
any reason, you have to use a toll number which costs $1.98/ minute and 
is charged automatically to your phone bill.

Sorry for the rant, but I am steamed about Net Zero and their policies.

Re: USB to ethernet

Does anyone know if there is a Mac compatible (Mac OSX) usb-ethernet 
adapter that would work with a usb printer. The idea is to hook the 
printer to the ethernet port of the D-Link wireless router to use with 
our wireless notebooks.

I can use a wireless usb print server, but I want to investigate a 
more economical solution (if there is one). Thanks for all the help in 
advance.
This will most likely not work; the problem is that the USB printer 
will not likely 'talk' ethernet.

Re: keycaps

2004-02-26 Thread Greg Gilmore
$20 I can do but I haven't found keyboards for that amount, although I've
checked for auctions on eBay where they tend to go for quite a bit more. Is
that where you found yours? Thanks, by the way, for the response.

Re: keycaps

2004-02-26 Thread pjspop
Hmm,  on 2/25/04, clearly thinking quite astutely about keycaps,  Greg
Gilmore, penned:
The recent mention of loose keys reminded me that the lettering on over a
dozen of the keycaps on my wife's Lombard's keyboard have entirely, or
almost entirely, rubbed off. (Same thing's happening to my G4 Titanium.)
Replacements are $3 a pop at PBParts.com. Anybody know of a source with
better prices?




Try the swaplist. It's a great venue.
