Re: another wireless question -- Re-phrase

[Bob]

My proof reading sucks. The following should say:

>My wired router just died, and since I've got to replace it, I figure
>it's a good time to go wireless. Just a couple of quick questions, if
>you please.
>1) Can I/should go 802.11 G or B with a Pismo and Panther?

You can go with 802.11g if you want. But it doesn't sound like it 
would be all that valuable to you at this point in time.

Sorry for the omission,

Bob

My printer sharing question must have been the same. I never did get

You can if you want. But it doesn't sound like it would be all that

Do you get dizzy easily? You just jumped on one huge merry-go-round. 
:-) You'll hear all kinds of recommendations, including brands that 
some people like and other people hate.

It's like anything else -- what do you (& possibly *will* you) want 
to do with your WiFi network? Do you need to use AppleTalk over it? 
Do you need a modem in the WAP (wireless access point or base 
station) for primary or fall back (emergency) use? Are you going to 
have anything hard wired via an Ethernet cable to the network? Is 
cost a factor in your decision? Do you want to share a USB printer? 
Etc, etc.

>3) Would you get a PCMCIA card for the Pismo or an airport card? I don't
>currently use the PCMCIA slot for anything.

There are pluses and minuses to both choices. I'm sure other list 
members will contribute their feelings about it. If you are diligent 
in your shopping, I don't think you will find that much difference 
between an Apple Airport card and a major brand PCMCIA card. Most of 
the people I have heard from say that the PCMCIA card usually has 
better range than a built-in Airport card. But the PCMCIA card will 
stick out of your PC slot an inch or inch and a half, which makes it 
somewhat vulnerable to damage. However, it also means that you can 
put the card in various PBs if, and when, you so desire.

>4) If I understand correctly I can't use airport extreme, just the
>original airport card in the Pismo, correct?

I don't know if there are any differences in physical configuration 
or not. I tend to say there isn't, but I don't know for sure. I *do* 
know that you can use a IEEE802.11g PCMCIA card.

>Does that mean an 802.11 brouter? Thanks for your time.

The 11g technology is backward compatible, so both a 11b card with a 
11g WAP, and a 11g card with a 11b WAP will work, though both at the 
slower speed.

>All I want to do is light surfing and email - not heavy file transfers.

Like I mentioned above, that doesn't seem to require higher speed or 
higher cost. However...you wouldn't be the first to expand your 
horizons far beyond your current expectations, as you really "get 
into it." So, if money is not a major factor, you may want to get the 
best that you can. That way, if your horizons *do* expand, you won't 
be limited by equipment that is feature limited.

One last comment. I'm going to let others recommend specific brands 
and models, but my own personal feeling is that if you can come 
within $30-$40 when comparing an Apple Base Station and a 3rd party 
model, I would go for the ABS. If it's more like $100 - $200, then 
you need to choose the the one that fits your needs and pocketbook 
the best. One quick example of why I prefer Apple/same-as-Apple 
products whenever feasible...

When a user takes his or her PB out and "roams" looking for 
open/useable WiFi networks, that's called "war driving" or "drive-by 
rooting." The program(s) the seem to be the most popular in revealing 
these open networks -- or Hot Spots -- is MacStumbler for OS X 
 and ClassicStumbler for OS 8.6/9 
. However, MacStumbler 
doesn't currently support any kind of PCMCIA or 3rd-party cards, and 
ClassicStumbler only works with an internal Apple AirPort card or a 
Lucent/Orinoco/Avaya/Agere/Proxim WaveLAN PC card.

That's just one small example. There are many others.

Well, I see I have gone on too long. I hope some of this info is 
helpful to you.

Good Luck,

Bob

another wireless question

[Tom Wolfe]

I'm sorry if this has been discussed ad infitinum, but I have a wireless
question...
My wired router just died, and since I've got to replace it, I figure
it's a good time to go wireless. Just a couple of quick questions, if
you please.
1) Can I/should go 802.11 G or B with a Pismo and Panther?
2) What inexpensive router do you recommend?
3) Would you get a PCMCIA card for the Pismo or an airport card? I don't
currently use the PCMCIA slot for anything.
4) If I understand correctly I can't use airport extreme, just the
original airport card in the Pismo, correct? Does that mean an 802.11 b
router? Thanks for your time.

All I want to do is light surfing and email - not heavy file transfers.

Thanks for your time. 

Tom

Best idea for dedicated print server?

[Michael Dolberry]

I need help with your opinion.

I need to find the least expensive way to network one
of my printers to be used on my wireless network.

I have an Epson, with USB, and a Lexmark, which is
supposed to directly network (more below).

My network consists of 3 laptops with wireless PC
cards, all using OS9. They connect to a graphite
(non-extreme) base station. The Lexmark is connected
by an ethernet hub to the airport. It can be seen by
the network, but never prints anything. Also connected
is an old Supermac, running the Epson in USB Printer
Sharing.

The Supermac barely remembers that it HAS hard drives
and is unreliable. Lately it cannot see its ethernet
card. I am giving up on it.

My hope is that someone can suggest a fairly
inexpensive solution that can allow me to make this
work.

What would be the cheapest laptop or desktop to take
the place of the C600? Can airport extreme work in
OS9? Does anyone have a suggestion as to why the
Lexmark can be seen, but not used? (Lexmark claims it
must be settings on the Airport. Imagine that?)

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Mike

I'm not an expert on the subject, but the Orinoco user's manual

installed. You need to use one or the other.

I think so, sure. However, I don't believe you will be able to get 
802.11g speed without being in OS X if that's one of your goals. 
Maybe that's not a goal, because neither of the cards you refer to 
here are 11g compatible.

If cost is a factor, and if you don't require USB printer sharing, 
you might save $200 or more by picking up a used Duel-Ethernet (Snow) 
Apple Base Station. If you go that route, make sure the one you get 
has a modem in it.

>Are their third party routers that have both ethernet connection, modem and
>which will pass AppleTalk packets?

I'm not sure about all three, but the first two requirements whittle 
the field down to about 3 choices that I know of:
* Apple's ABS of course
* the SMC7004AWBR 
* 3Com Office Connect 56K LAN Modem, Model # 3C886 (don't have a 3com 
URL right off the top of my head)

An excellent choice IMPO, or any variation of that card.

>I have been able to get it working but the software is confusing for her.

You don't have to use the Orinoco software. Use Apple's v.2.0.4. I 
don't find it confusing...with the exception of needing to use a 3rd 
party connect/disconnect utility for the ABS modem.

ABS Modem Utility: 

>I advised her to try one of the Skyline cards, but she has already

No need to get a different card. But somebody sure got ripped off if 
she spent $100 for the Orinoco Classic Gold card. Those are available 
for $30-$60.

>I would like to install the Airport
>software and let her try it with out removing the Ornioco software.

Why worry about the Orinoco software? There only 3 or 4 extensions to 
drag out of the Extensions folder (and they all start with Orinoco). 
No Control Panels. One CSM and one app or alias in the Apple Menu 
Items to drag out. You can either install the Apple software or drag 
the appropriate files to the same folders that the Orinoco files were 
located. No big deal.

>She has tried the Skyline software on my PB, and likes it's simple 
>interface, but
>we are back to the money she has already spent.

Try the Apple software and see if that's any more difficult. I have a 
hard time thinking that it would be.

BTW let repeat a suggestion that I made to you a week ago. 
IPNetMonitor is an invaluable communication tool. It reads the 
throughput (input and output) for Ethernet, the Airport PC card, 
Broadband, and plain old POTS PPP. There's never any wondering about 
what's going on with the connection. And I haven't even mentioned the 
addition tools for Pinging, Trace Route, Finger, Whois, NS Lookup, 
DHCP tools and more. I can't imagine being without it. (Disclaimer: I 
have absolutely nothing to do with the writers or marketers of 
IPNetMonitor, other than being a **very** satisfied customer.) I see 
they have raised the shareware price since I paid for mine a number 
of years ago. But man is it worth it IMHO.

You're a lot sharper than you give yourself credit for being. Setting 
up a 1400 under 7.6 is harder than setting up a Wallstreet under OS 
9. However connecting to an existing network (Hot Spot) is a lot 
easier than configuring your own network and base station.

Hope This Helps,

Bob

HD Upgrade

[Big Al]

Hi to all, I'm new to this list and wanted to ask for all advice on my 
TiBook 500 Mhz.  I would like to upgrade my 20Gb HD that came with it 
to something closer to 60GB or 80GB.  Is this possible and/or 
affordable?  Also, is it and upgrade that can be done by myself (i.e. 
do I need special tools other than a screwdriver set)?

Thanks in advance for all help/advice.

Wayne, you need a wireless ethernet bridge, a small box with an antenna that
plugs into your ethernet port.  $60 used, $100 new.  Linksys and D-Link make
nice ones.

My network consists of a Linksys router, with one of the four ports 
going to a DLink wireless. It doesn't go to the upload, it goes into 
the number 4 slot. You have to make sure to turn the wireless DHCP 
function off if you have two routers so they don't conflict.

Re: browser for Wallstreet?

Laurent;
Thanks for the response. I still use same HD. Problem started shortly 
after I went from Netscape 4.79 to 7.0. Problem only occurs when I use 
bookmarks, and then not always.

Bill
You might want to check SillyDog's Netscape archive

They show 7.02 for OS 8.6 so it should be fine with OS 9.1.
Their "streamline" packages are very nice but the latest they've got for 
the MAC is Netscape 6.2.2.

L2 cache memory

[Tom and Lisa P]

It  looks like the L2 cache on my 3500 is dead, dead, dead.  While I 
have another 3500 motherboard (dead) I can scrounge from, I would 
rather put down a faster cache part if possible.  Is there anyone out 
there with a G3 powerbook that can look at the L2 cache chips and 
read of the part # ? Also, if anyone has any pics of the cache, that 
would be a bonus.  It shouldnt be too hard to find pin-compatable 
chips out there.

thanks,
Mad Dog

Re: Using Apple DVD-Rom ATA/IDE drive/Wallstreet II?

[Mikael Byström]

>Do I need an Apple Decoder card to use the DVD-ROM features of this drive?
Data DVDs should work.

VLC or perhaps Mplayer under OS X (not sure of if MP do DVDplaying), but
I think you'll find that you need at least a G4 upgrade card to be able
to play DVDs without hardware decoding. Even with that you prboably need
to set the software to drop frames.

As a G4 upgrade is about the same as a DVD decoder card I'd get one.
Especially as the DVD decoder card doesn't work with OS X. I, however,
sold my WS II and bought PB G4/400 instead. For that and a G4/400 Tower
and some pocket change I got a Powerbook G4/400, some RAM, 10 GB more HD,
1152 x 768 pixels, Firewire and USB and DVDplayer. I also like the
keyboard and the weight better.

Are you sure there isn't a CD in the CD drive? A HD can be noisy, but
vibrations seem a bit over the top actually.

Re: Lombard CPU upgrade or replacement

please note that this is only necessary and only possible with a *new* WS
Bluechip CPU. An already flashed one will only work with the same base
model (WS or WS II (also named PDQ)) as it was flashed for. This was
discussed recently in the threads "Re: Wallstreet processor mitch-match"
and "Re: Wallstreet screen question". There was some disagreement on
which ROM was available in the early and later 233's but my thoughts were:

Re: Wall Street, wi-fi, and OS 9.1

[Kenneth Vann]

Hello All. I have some questions too.

What is the last version of Airport Software that works under OS 9.1-9.2.2?

Can the Wallstreet support more that one type of wireless software at the
same time? I am referring to perhaps the Skyline and a Airport software, or
Airport and Orinoco software. Do you just change the stetting in the
AppleTalk Control Panel and change cards?

Are current production Airport Base Stations suitable for use on a network
that only has Macs running OS 9.1 or earlier?

Are their third party routers that have both ethernet connection, modem and
which will pass AppleTalk packets?

I have a friend who was advised to purchase a Orinoco Gold card (by CDW)
for her Wallstreet. I have been able to get it working but the software is
confusing for her. I advised her to try one of the Skyline cards, but she
has already spent $100 on this card. I would like to install the Airport
software and let her try it with out removing the Ornioco software. She has
tried the Skyline software on my PB, and likes it's simple interface, but
we are back to the money she has already spent.

She has cable, uses a Belkin router, and can connect to the other computers
on the wired ethernet side of router by just going to the
Chooser/AppleShare and pick the name of the other machine. With her
Wallstreet, she does the same thing, but has to put in the IP address of
the computers on the wired side of the router to connect. No problem
connecting to internet from any of her 4 computers. I have put a alias on
the Wallstreet of each hard disk she wants to connect to, and this seems to
solve the problem, but I was wondering if I  configured the Belkin router
wrong? This was the first time I ever configured one.

My previous experience is putting wireless on old PowerBook computers for
use at a Mac User Group hot spot. ( I helped a retired gentlemen set up a
PB1400/117 & OS 7.6 to surf on my Skyline card I loaned him).

Thank you.

Ken Vann

I don't think that would be a good idea. The internal cables are flimsy 
little ribbons of printed plastic. VERY fragile! Besides, the keyboard 
itself is a wimpy thing. Much easier just to hunt up a used iMac keyboard 
and plug it into the USB port. Cheap, easy, and very rugged, at least by 
comparison.

Extracting keyboard from an iBook clamshell ?

[Larry le Mac]

I am thinking of converting an old iBook and I want to remove the keyboard
and have it about 0.5 metre away from the computer.
Is it possible to simply extend the "cables" ?
Are there any signal loss/interference/etc. issues ?

Re: Wireless network

[Wayne]

I wanted to see if anyone knows of PCI solution for wireless that will work
in a PM8600 running OS 9.1.

I have the iBook and Imac and my wife's Dell all wireless, but this system
is the last to do.

I use a D-link network, not the extreme system, but the 22 speed and
standard Airport cards. D-Link has a PCI card, but it is not listed as Mac
compatible.

Thanks  for any input.

Wayne

OS X MAIL attachments - 2 files ???

[Larry le Mac]

Whenever I send files with Mail (OS X.3.4) the receiver gets two
copies, one which is the real file and one much smaller and
unopenable. This isn't a problem as such as the other one is
only about 10% in size, but annoying as everyone keeps
telling me that one file is corrupt or whatever and can I send
it again.
I cannot find any attachment encoding setting (I recall something
like this in Micro$oft Outlook Express in OS 9).
Any tips ?
May or may not be relevant, before I got this Mac I used OS 9 with
Outlook and I think I had a similar problem there but not sure...
