Re: lombard DVD decoder
The DVD Decoder board IS NOT supported under OS X. This piece is used for watching DVD movies. It works fine under OS 9. The decoder is not the same thing as the DVD optical mechanism. The Lombard I gave to my son to use boots into OS 9 just for DVD playing (and an occasional game of Crystal Quest).

Re: lombard DVD decoder
The DVD Decoder board IS NOT supported under OS X. This piece is used for watching DVD movies. It works fine under OS 9. A hardware decoder is necessary under 9, on the Lombard. A software decoder is used under X, on the Lombard. With a third-party video card on a PCI bus Mac, software decoding can be used on 9 and it is always used on X. As an example, the BW G3, a PCI bus Mac, can be provided with a decoder board on the Apple-supplied video card. This decoder is required under 9, but it not used under X. Remove that decoder card and Apple DVD Player will report missing hardware on 9, but will still work on X. The same concept should be true of other PCI-type Macs, such as the 3400 (604e), 3500 (Kanga G3), 1998 (Wallstreet G3), 1999 (Lombard G3) and 2000 (Pismo G3). -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Beyond X.2
Good Morning and Greetings to All G-Book Members; I have been a member of other Lowend Mac List such as the Powerbooks List, 1st Power Mac List, LEM Swaplist, MacNetwork List, but I am new to this list and in need of a bit of assistance. I have researched the archives and could not find any mention of my particular problem, so thought I would put it to the list to see whether or not some solutions could be found. Here goes; I recently acquired a 400mhz Powerbook G3 Lombard with 128mb of ram a 6gig hard drive and a DVD-ROM. I would eventually like to change out the ram and bring it up to 512mb, the DVD-ROM for a DVD/CD-RW, and replace the hard drive with a 40 gigger. But those things are for later. My main concern at the present time is that I am unable to upgrade the OS beyond 10.2. Whenever I attempt to upgrade the powerbook screen goes wonky with two lines across the screen on the gray page with the apple logo and locks up. Does this have something perhaps to do with the video and video patch I've heard about for these machines. Also, I am unable to get to the internet through my DSL modem and Linksys router. I am able to connect using my internal modem. As far as the connecting to the internet via my local lan I have no clue where to start in trouble shooting this. My Pc, 1GHZ Sawtooth, and 450 MHZ BW have no trouble connecting. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

DHCP problems
Hello list. I've been having an annoying problem for the last few weeks. I have 6 computers connected through a switch and a D-Link router (all wired). From time to time, for a reason that still escapes me, when a laptop (iBook or my PowerBook) wakes up from sleep, it will complain that the IP address it had is in use by another computer. I have DHCP enabled in the D-Link router with addresses going from 192.168.0.100 through 192.168.0.199. Isn't the DHCP server supposed to assign another address when the previous one has been taken?

Re: DHCP problems
Laurent, The router may be set to DHCP but are all the Macs set to use DHCP? If they are set up as static that can obviously be the problem. Or, if there is something wrong with the router that may be the problem. I've not heard good things about D-Link in that regard. Check all the settings and let us know.

Re: Beyond X.2
I think that your problem will be the ram if you try just putting a stick of ram in the lower slot and then try to install again once installed then put back any other ram and away you go . thats how i got 10.3 on the lombard i had.

What is likely happening is that the powerbook is asleep longer than the lease time, and the D-link re-assigns the IP address to another system. The powerbook wakes up and someone else has it's address. On the powerbook you can bring up the networking pref pane and renew the lease on the TCP/IP tab. that will get a new IP address and you can go. You can also set the lease time for much longer on the router, or even assign static addresses to the systems connecting to it.

Pismo memory questions
Hi, I've just (re)subscribed to the G-Books mailing list. I apologize if this question has been answered here in the past. It may be a frequently asked question. I have a Pismo (PowerBook G3, 500 MHz, FireWire, circa 2000) with a total of 256 MB memory. At some point I will probably replace this with a G4 or G5, but in the meantime I am looking into upgrading the memory. According to the original owner's manual Getting Started With Your PowerBook from Apple, this machine can be upgraded to a maximum of 512 MB using two 256 MB SDRAM cards, SO-DIMM format, 144-pin, PC-100 type RAM. In doing some Google searching, I have found several sites which claim that the Pismo can be upgraded to a total of 1 GB using two 512 MB cards. Does anyone on this list have experience with upgrading a Pismo to a total of 1 GB memory ? Is this possible ? Any problems ? Any recommendations on specific memory brands / manufacturers (Crucial, Omni Technologies, Kingston, Samsung, ...) or online retailers that I should specifically seek out or avoid ?

Re: Pismo memory questions
In doing some Google searching, I have found several sites which claim that the Pismo can be upgraded to a total of 1 GB using two 512 MB cards. Correct. PC100 or better is required, but just about the only 512 MB SODIMMs available these days will be PC133, which is also downward compatible with PC100 machines. Buy a reputable brand, one which will allow a no questions return, should there be a problem with your Mac. Infineon is one manufacturer which comes immediately to mind. Note to Lombard and Wallstreet owners: 512 MB is the max for these machines, but the compatibility issues are significantly greater, and many commonly available low profile SODIMMs will not work in these machines.

This piece is used for watching DVD movies. It works fine under OS 9. A hardware decoder is necessary under 9, on the Lombard. A software decoder is used under X, on the Lombard. With a third-party video card on a PCI bus Mac, software decoding can be used on 9 and it is always used on X. As an example, the BW G3, a PCI bus Mac, can be provided with a decoder board on the Apple-supplied video card. This decoder is required under 9, but it not used under X. Remove that decoder card and Apple DVD Player will report missing hardware on 9, but will still work on X. The same concept should be true of other PCI-type Macs, such as the 3400 (604e), 3500 (Kanga G3), 1998 (Wallstreet G3), 1999 (Lombard G3) and 2000 (Pismo G3). -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

What is likely happening is that the powerbook is asleep longer than the lease time, and the D-link re-assigns the IP address to another system. The powerbook wakes up and someone else has it's address. The powerbook should know it's lease has expired and re-apply for an address. Should being the operative phrase here. On the powerbook you can bring up the networking pref pane and renew the lease on the TCP/IP tab. that will get a new IP address and you can go. You can also set the lease time for much longer on the router, or even assign static addresses to the systems connecting to it. This would be set on the D-link. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig that says 'NI!' Ah ah! That might be it. I checked the settings on the router and realized the lease was 1 hour. So, I put it at 1 day. I could go for a week. Would a week be better than a day? My children iBooks might not be used for longer than a day. Basically you want to set the lease time to how long you can wait to until applying new settings. If you set the lease time really long (weeks, months) you can have problems if you need to change one of the settings (router address, DNS). You can of course go through and manually update the lease but that is a pain if you have many machines. When things are stable a day lease should be fine. While working on the settings 1 hour or less is usually a good idea. FYI, the normal protocol is for the client to renew the lease at the halfway mark (ie. 30 minutes for a 1 hour lease). Changing the lease setting shouldn't foul things up, the existing leases should still retain their lease times until they are renewed then they will use the new settings. This may be an issue with the D-Link's lease algorithm. These in expensive routers are notorious for taking shortcuts on some of the protocols. And DHCP in general seems to get implemented oddly by many vendors. -- 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: Pismo memory questions
At 6:31 PM -0400 10/16/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In doing some Google searching, I have found several sites which claim that the Pismo can be upgraded to a total of 1 GB using two 512 MB cards. Correct. PC100 or better is required, but just about the only 512 MB SODIMMs available these days will be PC133, which is also downward compatible with PC100 machines. Buy a reputable brand, one which will allow a no questions return, should there be a problem with your Mac. I like to recommend vendors that list the memory specifically for the machine in question (Pismo) and for the memory configuration (1Gb total). It's much harder for them to say it's your fault for picking the wrong memory (and less likely that you will have problems). Infineon is one manufacturer which comes immediately to mind. Note to Lombard and Wallstreet owners: 512 MB is the max for these machines, but the compatibility issues are significantly greater, and many commonly available low profile SODIMMs will not work in these machines. Get an exchange guarantee for these machines, particularly. -- 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: Tiger and Safari problem
Thanks again to those who offered help for my DSL setup and connection problem after installing Tiger. Turns out (after much trial and error, loss of internet connection.), it was a configuration and modem problem. Now solved... and as most of you know, DSL is sweet compared to dialup!

If they gave you just an address to ping, then it sounds like DNS isn't working properly. I'd go through and verify your IP address and DNS server settings if you entered them in manually. Make sure that you have them entered for the proper interface, etc. Steve Steve... I think I pinged them at their IP address. However, I did enter the IP address and DNS addresses by hand, as given to me by the Earthlink tech so I assume (yes, possibly big mistake!) that those entries are now correct.
