Airport Extreme - Just checking

2004-07-17 Thread Bob Salsburg
I am thinking of moving from Airport to Airport Extreme. I have:

TiBook 500
iMac G3 400 Graphite SE
(and dead Airport Base Station)

I thought I had remembered some advice here that some older Macs like 
mine may not support the Extreme cards. Is that correct?

Re: Optimizing OSX 10.3.4 ??

 How do you optimize OSX 10.3.4? Or is there another function that does the
 same thing? What kind of procedure is there to keep OSX and the G4 iBook
 running smoothly and quickly?

Depends on what you mean by optimize and quick; generally the term 
optimize is used to refer to the fragmented condition that hard 
drives get in requiring defragmentation. Others may use this tern for 
different conditions, but defragging is the usual reference. For this 
operation there is Norton DiskDoctor/SpeedDisk, TechTool and Disk 
Warrior (first that come to mind).

Apart from these, repairing permissions should be considered a regular 
maintenance task. Disk Utility, included with OS X can repair 
permissions. There are also some shareware items that do these tasks as 
well as log rotation and other UNIX tasks through friendly UIs. Onyx, 
MacJanitor and Cocktail are several available now.

HTH. I am sure others of the erstwhile list membership will have other 
suggestions.

Glad to see you have got your mail ... and sanity back. That menu item 
is close to some other, more often used commands and gets clicked 
accidentally quit a bit.

To be accurate, the key combination you did rebuilt the database, not 
the program.

 Nevertheless, when I unstuffed and opened the new OE, it contained my old

Lilly:

OE's message store is likely in the Documents folder (default); 
messages are not a part of the application. So when you open the new 
version  it is reading the old message store. IIRC, the Microsoft User 
Data folder contains a file simply called Database along with prefs and 
caches, sigs, etc. 

If you create a new identity all of these default files (except the 
Newsgroup Cache which is shared), are created as empty containers 
awaiting storage. You might try the new identity to verify that all of 
the functionality is correct and then move the default 5 or 6 files 
into the new identity folder. You should study this structure first and 
use backup files. This article shows about identities and creating them:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;280525

In the end, OE may not read the database, but it's worth a shot.

Re: Updating LInksys Firmware

 Now lets see I get the same problem you have.
 
 Question:  do you have the exact same model Linksys as I do?
 
 Might be interesting to share how we have our setup page filled out
 since we both have earthlink.net as our ISP.  I have DSL.  You?
 
 In case you are interested, I have attached a .pdf of my Setup page.

*** This might be a duplicate. I got a bounce ***

Bob:

This looks like the default setup, which I use. I didn't have a need 
for anything else. I use cable with a BEFSR11, the one port versions, 
but that shouldn't matter. And with the symptoms we both are having, 
the installation method doesn't matter.

I haven't had a chance yet to reset the router. I am also going to go 
over to linksys.com to see if there are other complaints.

Re: Updating LInksys Firmware

2004-07-02 Thread Bob Salsburg
 Anyone out there with a similar Linksys that can offer a little
guidance, please?

Bob:

Versiontracker gives this link:

http://www.mactechnologies.com/pages/tftpinst.html#linksys

I updated mine from my Mac. Went well, but it later started dropping
Earthlink connections. When I tested using the modem connection only to
the Airport base station, the connection problem went away. That has been
about two weeks. I am going to put the router back online over the
holiday weekend and, if it still acts flakey, I am going to reset the router. 

Just my experience. Your mileage may vary.

Bob
