Just turning on one of the 2 built-in restrictions will keep 99.999% of people out of your network. The 0.001% that want in and want to bother, can get in no matter what. While I have been trying not to use the wireless router (given the situation with my neighbour that I mentioned earlier today), I really need to have access to it here and there as I have a lot of work to get done and cannot easily do it at my computer desk. I was thinking I could perhaps create another network name and WPA and perhaps stay hidden from her brother. Changing the name of our station will last all of 5 seconds or so before someone looking will know. Even if you turn off SSID broadcast (of the name of the network) sniffing software will still be able to see that it is there, and what the name is, if someone (you) is connected. WPA is easier to crack than WEP, per the proof-of-concept articles I just found googling for WPA crack. I didn't look for software for cracking WPA but I'm sure it exists, I've read articles about software for WEP decryption, there are several options. Turn on WEP, turn on MAC address filter as I mentioned before, whitelist the MAC ID of your laptop(s) and keep half an eye on your logs. It is really unlikely they will hack in, and if they do, you can either ban the MAC ID of anything that does connect, or call someone about it, or both. Their breaking in is really not likely to be an issue if you enable the built-in security options, and if it is, you will see it going on and can do something at that time. There's a lot of media hype and not a lot of there there, if you know what I mean. Put MacStumbler or KisMac on your Mac laptop. Look around when you are out and about, to get a feel for how this works, and what is really available and what is not accessible even though you can see it. Look at your own network with one of these softwares to make sure the setting you think you have enabled, are enabled. A bit of education and experience and you will worry less about your setup, and be comfortable with the technology and be able to keep your LAN useful to you yet sensibly protected. -B -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: security re: file sharing/networks
I think the bottom line is: Whether or not you thinks laws are good or not, or protect people or not, or are in favor of anarchy or not, laws do exist, usually for a purpose. If you feel it's ok to share YOUR wireless connection with someone else, that's your choice. If you feel it;s NOT ok to share said connection, that's your choice and others should respect that. Should they not accept it to the point of threats (and that's what next-door-neighbor is doing) then the cops should be called. Immediately.

Re: wireless router security
I have a D-Link wireless router - there are options to change from the WEP 128 bit encryption to WPA personal.Would doing this create enough of a wall for most people trying to hack in ? I think I'd be prefer MAC address filtering, as I understand it both WEP and WPA require some CPU time for the encryption which might be enough to slow down the connection to a slower computer.

Re: security re: file sharing/networks
Brian - Thanks so much for the feedback and guidance. You said: Setting a password, turning off remote admin, and making sure you check for firmware updates once in a while (you are current at the moment for a v3 BEFSR41) are the important things for your setup, as I see it. Password is a strong one, remote admin is indeed turned off and I do check every once in awhile for firmware updates. You also said: You need to look under wireless/security and turn on MAC address filtering and WEP to control these things on a wireless router. I did not provide sufficient info on my setup. Here it is. DSL modem connected to the wired Linksys router. Linksys connected to my G5 iMac via ethernet cable AND connected to my ancient Graphite Apple Base Station which in turns links our two laptops in a small home network.

WEP will lock out 99.9%. WPA is better (but pls remember to use a long key). You could also set your router to only talk to specific MAC addresses. That way your users have to be on a specifically authorized computer AND know the WEP or WPA key. I was thinking I could perhaps create another network name and WPA and perhaps stay hidden from her brother. Not worth the effort, IMO.

Interchanging iBook G3 G4 keyboards
I'm afraid I've mostly lurked on this list for a while and I apologize if the subject has been covered before, but just in case it's helpful... I certainly didn't find anyone who seemed to have done the deed when I Googled this up a few times over the last year. Short answers: * You *cannot* use iBook G4 keyboards on iBook G3s without putting an extension on the ribbon, which, if you don't mind, we'll say is a nontrivial exercise, to put it mildly. * You *can* use G3 keyboards on G4 with a few caveats. One, you'll have to fold the ribbon like a Z over on itself, which is not the recommended way of using a ribbon cable. Two, you'll have a slight bow in the keyboard that'll make it poke up just enough you'll likely scrape the screen with your keyboard's keys. I had a G4 keyboard go flakey on me (never liked it as much as the iBook G3 keyboard, and it finally acted so wacky I either had to clean it #shudder!# or use it as an excuse for this experiment) and, after pulling another keyboard from a limping iBook G3, the things looked similar enough I thought it was worth a shot. So far, so good. The bent-over ribbon does concern me a bit, however. The iBook G4 keyboard doesn't have a particularly nice feel, imo, though the metal keyholders do seem a bit more robust. I've had issues on my G4 kybd with the space bar not being so responsive and with random keys repeating at the slightest pressure (particularly h, fwiw). Taking a little out of a G3 keyboard's ribbon would seem a nice way to get a good typing-feel into this very nice laptop. I'd considered downgrading to an iBook G3 900 to get as much perf as I could with the nicer keyboard, esp since Small Dog had told me that I couldn't swap in a G3 kybd for the G4. Glad I found out differently, so far. I'm not so sure they were wrong -- the keyboards *aren't* interchangeable. But, again, you can take the G3's to the G4. Anyhow, there you go.

Re: security re: file sharing/networks
Indeed. Aber's neighbor seems to think she's entitled to use the connection. That's rude. There might be other options though. I heard a friend mention that he had some router setting that allowed him to not broadcast the SSID. I wasn't too interested at the time so I didn't ask what brand of router he was using. But this capability would be a clean solution to the nosey neighbor and still allow Amber to use her own wireless systems, which she ought to be able to do. Masking the SSID might be the only way to solve the intrusion without making everyone uncomfortable. There are also some directional antenna setups that limit transmission in one axis to amplify it in another. But why she should have to spend money to solve this rudeness is beyond me. Hard to live with a neighbor like that though.

New iLife 06
Good Afternoon everybody, I received my copy of iLife 06 on Friday and have been checking it out since then. I have to say that so far, the changes to iPhoto are pretty interesting and useful. - Faster initial loading of your photos - Full screen editing - Multi-photo comparisons - Transparent date markers as you scroll through your iPhoto library - Seamless integration with iWeb etc etc iWeb itself is a pretty cool little application. I was able to set up a basic website with all kinds of hyperlinks, photos etc in less than 10 minutes. Very intuitive ! It does not look like a custom job but is great for those just wanting to set up blogs, photos of the kids for the grandparents etc etc. I have not explored iDVD and iMovie too much yet and never really got into Garage Band so didn't check that one out immediately. Anyway, I just thought I would write a little preview for you should you be considering buying iLife. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Ibook G4 1GHz malfunctioning motherboard any value?
A few months ago, I did replace the motherboard in my daughter's iBook G4 at 1GHz. She had spilled water on the keyboard and it found its way to damage the motherboard. Only the video was affected, though, the computer seemed to be working fine except for the video. So, that motherboard has been sitting on a shelf for a few months now, collecting dust. Anybody knows if this has any value that would justify putting it on eBay?

Re: no Battery Time Left on Pismo
For some reason I can no longer get info on how long my battery has left in hours and minutes. I can get the info in percentage, but if I ask for it to be shown as time left, it says calculating... or is just a blank, depending on which program I use to measure it. I have show battery status in the menu bar checked in the Energy Saver Systems Preference. I also use SlimBatteryMonitor. Both show the same percentage, but no longer the time. As best I remember this was working up till just a week or so ago. I have a 400MHz Pismo, 40G, 768MB. I recently upgraded to Tiger and then 10.4.3. Could have been the same time. Battery is fairly new. I was getting about 4 hours or so last I remember seeing the time. Is this a Tiger issue? I tried running just on battery till it went to sleep (about 1-2 %), then charging to full. Did this twice, still no joy so I tried reset- nvram, reset-all. Still nothing but %. I've got the same problem with a 500 MHz Pismo running a clean install of Tiger with 512 Mb RAM. It's a new aftermarket battery so I haven't worried about it but it would be nice to have. I did try running it down till it shut off but that made no difference. Seems like if my 520 could figure out time remaining the Pismo should be able to manage it.

Re: Battery Time Left
Dan Van: Me too...Pismo with Newertech high cap battery. Tiger upgrade, not clean install. Many full cycles on battery, PRAM reset, power mgr reset, utilities, Macaroni type maintenance, full sotware updates. Thought it had to do either with the battery not being from apple or that the Tiger upgrade was not a clean install? Nonetheless, think I've seen the same in some Tiger upgraded TiBooks with their original batteries, and no third part utilities. Anyone see this with claen installs? or a fix? F. (not Fran) Dan - I have suffered this exact issue on my Pismo. Haven't figured out how to fix it either - my next stop? Start from scratch.
