Re: DHCP problems
sorry, I haven't been following the entire thread. What about assigning IP addresses instead of DHCP? All you would have to do is give each computer a valid IP on the same subnet. Because it's an ongoing pain in the butt if you have ANY coming and going of systems... For laptops that move between two or more sites with different address ranges it is so much easier to use DHCP. Especially if you are using WiFi sites on the run. Personally, I use locations for that. I have one with a static IP for work, one with a static IP for home (same one if I'm using wireless or wired), and then one with DHCP assigned to wireless or wired that I use when I'm on the road. Not that there's anything wrong with using DHCP at home, but I thought I'd toss this out as a way around using DHCP everywhere. Steve Fuller -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Tiger and Safari problem
Did they have you ping a host via name or via IP address? If they gave you just an address to ping, then it sounds like DNS isn't working properly.

Re: REPOST: How can I connect Wallstreet II/ OS 9.2.2 to iBook 500/ OS X 10.3.9?

Re: security on wireless router
Thanks for your reply - I am ditching the DLink Router. It has caused no end of problems for me. Initially it was working great but within a couple of days, it just became really erratic. Sometimes it would work fine - then I would have no connection at all and trying to restore it was a pain in the neck. So, I am returning it and hoping to find something a little more reliable. Of course, the Airport Express would be the easiest to deal with but it just costs so much. Factor in your two days of frustration, plus the time to return the dlink. Maybe the Airport Extreme or Airport Express might not look so expensive. Steve -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

From an end user standpoint, I really don't think it's going to be that much of an impact. My interaction with the computer is not at the chip level, but at the OS level. From what I saw during the Steve-note, that really isn't going to change much. The box he ran the demo on looked and ran like a PPC based Mac. As long as I get the benefits of OS X, and the machines are relatively fast, and stable, I'm all for it. Especially if it means that Apple can come up with machines that have better battery life, run cooler, and/or run more quietly. Developers are probably going to have more of a mixed reaction, but from the reading that I've been doing, it appears that for many of them, this will make porting applications to the Mac platform a lot easier. One of the game manufacturers said that much of the work in porting from the PC platform has to do with time it takes to convert between the endianness of the platforms. A good description of what this is can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness . Short term, I think that this will definitely affect hardware sales for PPC based systems that are in the pipeline, but I'm not sure how. One side of me says that they will be down because people will be waiting for the new Intel based Macs. The other side of me says that a lot of people will want one of the last PPC based machines.

Re: iBooksG4 vs. PowerBooksG4
The Aluminium is not portable: too delicate, while the iBook is rugged and sturdy. Last week I travelled in Slovakia for a couple of presentations and the iBook was at home in the Jansport back pack, stuffed with other things (ordinary backpack, not a laptop one). The case is scratched, but you do not notice it: I cannot think of what had happened to the Aluminium (I have seen so many Titanium cases simply destroyed after a couple of trips). I think that it depends on how you travel and how often. I have traveled with my AlBook now for two years (I make 3 or 4 flights per year) and I have never had an issue with it. Granted, It's not in a backpack, but in a standard laptop bag. It has a couple of scratches on the case, but it's handled the trips just fine.

I love how the PowerBook works with the extended display and have been surprised at how cool it's been running with it... seemingly, cooler than using the PowerBook alone, though I can't imagine why that is, unless it's been my lap and not the machine generating the heat all this time :-/ ... I plan to run an external Firewire DVD- RW (the PB has a combo drive) and an external USB2 hard drive for storage of customer jobs, and have extended AppleCare ... If anyone here is using a PowerBook like this, I'd love to hear how it's working for you and any problems or surprises you've encountered. Are you using USB or Firewire hubs? External drives? I';ve been using my 17 PB like this for 2 years now, using it as a replacement for a P4 PC running windows. I personally use a firewire hub and a usb hub to minimize the cable clutter, and because I had some minor issues with device chaining (I had an external DVD-RW drive, Isight, and 3 external firewire hard drives, plus an ipod all hooked up at once). It's worked out quite well for me. I have a small stand that my powerbook goes on. I leave the long wall cable plugged in, and attach / detach the AC brick from that as needed when I move the powerbook around. I don't use an external monitor with mine, but that would certainly be an option that would work well. Biggest issues for me were finding a comfortable height/distance for the PB, and getting the cables ran so that my desk was not cluttered with them. Other than that, it's worked out well for the last two years. My PB travels to / from work with me every day so I'm hooking/ unkooking cables a lot, but it's basically 3 cables (firewire, USB, and power) that get plugged or unplugged.

Re: New Hard drive question
I'm considering buying a new hard drive from zip zoom fly. They describe the drives as bare, not coming with cables, etc. I intend to put the drive in my Pismo, which currently has the original drive. Do I need cables or what does this mean? You'll have to remove the old drive from the drive carrier in your Pismo and place it on the new drive (4 screws maybe) and then plug it in. You shouldn't need any extra cables or screws.

Re: Opinion wanted
was able to put them back together and they still worked. However, that would probably void her warranty. OTOH, my experience is that the warranty might not be that helpful and will be running out anyway in a few months. At this point, Apple has made notes in their system that the notebook has had liquid spilled into it. I think the value of your warranty is pretty much up because of that. I'd try and source a logic board for it and fix it yourself. That or give it back to your daughter and tell her the repair costs and let her learn from this experience.

Re: Can I monitor my network?
You might want to look at something like snort or Ethereal for monitoring your network for starters. Both will need to be compiled for OS X, and will require X windows to be installed to use their front ends. They are not easy to pick up on by any stretch of the imagination. Another idea would be to install something like nmap (another command line program) on your powerbook. You can use some of it's commands to locate all hosts on your network. For example: nmap -sP 192.168.0.1/24 will ping all 254 addresses on the 192.168.1 network (a common network configured internally for people that are using NAT internet gateways and the like). It will return a list of all of the active IP addresses that it finds. All three of the previously mentioned apps are open source. You will more than likely need to have the developer tools installed to make them work. A background in networking will help with deciphering the output of Ethereral and snort. It's important to note, that even though you may not have any applications open on your Mac that you will probably see some network activity on your network (even when you are not logged in). This could be background processes running on the machines on your network, or other miscellaneous network traffic. Activity lights that light up just when they see activity on a certain interface are not necessarily an indication of any heinous activity occurring on your network. (Although it never hurts to check). -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Not a PowerBook after all...?
Dell: Integrated Graphics (the desktop version is laughable enough, imagine it on a laptop!) Apple: Radeon 9200 32MB (slow, but vastly, vastly better than integrated graphics) TECHNICALLY, they're both integrated. It's just that one is using a chipset built by a company that does nothing but design graphics chips, where the other one has one that's designing it's graphics chipsets as a way to sell more processors and motherboards. :) Steve -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OS-X resistant Lombard

Consequently, I've given up, reinstalled OS 9 and started looking for a Pismo. Cache memory on the processor card, as discussed in another thread a week or two ago, could definitely be the culprit.

If I remember correctly, regular SCSI has, usually, a Centronic 50pins connector, while SCSI-2 has a 68pins connector, which type I don't know. However, there are adapters that you can usually find cheap on eBay... I am fairly sure that the only difference between scsi and scsi-2 is transfer rate. 68 pin is usually wide-scsi, and that would require a 68-50 pin adapter.

Gee, we're what, nearly 15 years into the PowerBook revolution and still arguing about where the ports go. I can understand this to a degree. Practical people argue that the ports belong on the side where they are conveniently accessed. Neat freaks argue that ports belong in back out of sight.

Re: help me diagnose The Satanic Lombard please

Maybe PC-133 would cure it?I called Crucial and they were really helpful - they have sold about 100 modules for that model and had 3% returns, they are sure it is ok. They were adamant the PC-133 would not help. I don't think increasing the RAM speed would help at all. The Lombards have a 66mhz bus speed, so having faster RAM won't help; the RAM will always reduce back to the bus speed. Prehaps there was some kind of mobo damage in the past, which also affected the other ram module? BTW, I've had trouble installing 10.2 multiple times on my perfectly working Beige G3; I had to try many times until one time it finally completed installing. I also once had a Duo 280c that would run fine when connected with the power adaptor, but when run off of a battery it would freeze often, sometimes when it was just idling. And when booted it I recall reading that the processor boards on Lombards were prone to issues with the cache memory on them. This could be one possible reason for the apparent sporadic nature of the issues that Andrew is seeing. I can't recall if there's a good way to test for this, or if it was a certain batch of processor cards that have the issue. Some googling might turn up more details.

Re: Apple Mail
Your also telling 100 plus workers using Macs, Apple Mail is a failure. What does that say to your Mac users when it comes time to buy a computer and most people use them off work for, emailing and surfing. Well the tech guy at our company does not like Apple Mail says it does not do things right, Internet Explorer is not being updated, so guess we better get a Wintel. Well if you want integrated email, calendaring, to do lists, etc all in one application, then yes, Apple Mail is a failure, and Entourage is the choice to make. This is what a lot of BUSINESSES want or demand from their email product. I'm one of the tech guys at my company, and I'm also the one primarily responsible for email. Our messaging infrastructure is based on Exchange, and Apple's mail is not the client for me to use in that environment. OTOH, for my personal email at home, I use Apple Mail, even though I have Entourage installed on my PowerBook. I love Apple and their products, but in the business world it's the best tool for the best job. Apple Mail is a great basic email program, and personally I'd like it to continue to focus on that market rather than try and become an Entourage killer. If your tech guy is basing his techology platform decisions solely off of the fact that he does not like Apple Mail, and that IE isn't being updated, then he should be fired, and you should find a competent replacement.

Re: lombard 10.3
i am trying to upgrade my aunt's lombard. i installed 256 ram in the lower slot and a 60gb 7200 rpm's hd. when i tried to install os 10.3 all went fine up to a point in which the screen turned into a series of static big blue, black and white lines or a pattern of thin lines jumping all over the screen. i tried 3 times with the same thing happening about the same time. the first time i just let it run w/out close attention. i installed os 10.2 without a problem. i remember reading recently about several listas who have installed 10.3 in a lombard. could you tell me what am i doing wrong? tried searching, but so far nothing has turned up. A lot of times I think these types of install issues have been traced to 3rd party ram. Remove the extra 256 and try the installation again and see what happens.

Re: OSX.2.8 and Toast on Powerbook G4 Ti 867
Question 1. I assume I cannot burn DVDs even with Toast software? With Toast and an external DVD recordable drive you could. You could also burn some types of DVDs with an external DVD burner and a hack for the iLife Suite. Question 2. Do I need Toast in addition to all the CD burning software in the MacOS 10.2.8? For burning your own data to CD, no. That being said, I find that the whole process of burning data to CD in the finder is slower as it makes an image of your data, and then burns that image to CD. Toast skips the image making process and just burns the data out. Question 3. Does anyone else have a similar setup and care to comment on Toast? I have used Toast 5 on my 17 PB under both 10.2.x and 10.3. It works fine under both. I personally did not find anything in 6 that makes me feel compelled to spend $79 on the upgrade (especially since I bought 5 about 2 months before 6 came out). Question 4. Can you burn a movie on a CD? a video CD? There is a standard called a Video CD (as well as Super Video CD). The basic differences are picture size and quality. Toast 5 only will burn video CDs. I think Toast 6 can burn Super Video CDs... Hope this helps Steve Fuller -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: How about iPhoto? was Re: Reinstalling MacOS X - Backing up
Best way I know of is: throw away the current iPhoto library and empty trash. Copy your old iPhoto library somewhere on your HD apart from the 'pictures' folder on your home folder. Launch iPhoto. It should say: I can't find the iPhoto library, do you want to import blah blah. Say yes and navigate to the old iPhoto library and select it. iPhoto should import the old library. To be really thorough, once that is done, quit iPhoto. Then hold shift-command-option when relaunching it, and iPhoto will rebuild the library. If all goes well, you should end up with your old library exactly as it was. This method worked quite well for me the 3 or 4 times that I have done it.

Re: Anyone here use virtual PC?
Are you seriously telling me that you think M$ will sell a version of VPC that will allow faultless running of Linux etc ? I am of the opinion that they will. They may not go out of their way to actively support it, but I don't believe that they will actively make something not work. Maybe I'm a bit of an optimist, but look at it this way. If it doesn't run Linux, or something besides an MS operating system, they get no sales of the product for that particular user.

Re: Anyone here use virtual PC?
The main question is WHY did M$ grab VPC? There isn't any reason except that VPC's ability to run non-M$ operating systems was a threat. Connectix had a version of VPC that ran under Windoze and the only way M$ could kill or control that was to grab VPC away from Connectix. It is also instructive to note that M$ did not hire the VPC programmers; just a few token ones to help with the transition. Looking at Microsoft's products that are coming up, one of the things they are releasing is a server virtualization product that allows you to run 4 or 5 separate smaller instances of Windows on one larger box to aid with server consolidation, especially in shops with large amounts of legacy applications. Connectix was working on a lot of the same technology, and I would guess that was the main reason that they grabbed the product: it gave them the bulk of the work in a cheaper way than it would to do the development from scratch, as well as a bunch of patents.

Re: Anyone here use virtual PC?
Unfortunately, the first thing M$ supposedly did when they got their hands on VPC was to disable support for non-M$ operating systems.

Re: Anyone here use virtual PC?
My understanding is that most of the video stuff didn't make it into VPC7 (at least with this initial release). This is intentional from Micro$oft in order to bring Virtual PC to the same level as the rest of the Micro$oft range of products; loads of hype about new features, pull half of them just before release. Since it wasn't a huge amount of time between when they purchased the code from Connectix, do you suppose it maybe had to do with something as simple as a time crunch and not some ulterior motive. I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, but people that go out of their way to assign something to some ulterior motive just amaze me. Steve -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Anyone here use virtual PC?
One thing that is undeniable is that they are putting the screws to those who want to use their own version of Windows with VPC by delaying the release of the VPC without an OS. Understandable. One of the things that I am waiting for as well. If you have VPC ready to ship but are waiting for SP2 to be released, there's still no reason why you can't release the Windows 2000 version or the version without an OS. I disagree there, if for no other reason that they wanted to test compatibility with SP2 before they released it. I think that made sense. It's the same binary with a different OS image file. And they advertise VPC 6 as only working with Win2000 and WinXP, when in fact it will work with 95 and 98 as well. Agreed it will work, but 95 and 98 aren't what they consider supported OSes for the most part. Marketers suck ;) ps - btw I fully expect that Longhorn will have some kind of integrated VPC (ala Carbon) if Microsoft follows through on their plan to break all existing Windows programs for it... There are products in beta that let you run multiple virtual servers on top of Windows 2003. I can see them integrating some of that, but then again, they may want to charge extra for that feature set, like they do now with terminal services.

I'm not certain this is the issue, but this IS how it acted when I was on my old PC that had no vid card. Make sure you install the VPC extensions into your Windows virtual machine.

Re: shutting down PBs at night
While more often than not I leave my iMac on at night, I always turn off my Powerbook. I guess it just seems more vulnerable left on all night, for some reason. In fact, until recently, I'd carefully pack it and all of its stuff back in the softside briefcase I bought for it. Now I often leave it, turned off and with lid closed, where I used it last (on the couch, on the footstool, on the bed, by the iMac, on the dining table...). Do you guys turn off your PBs at night? Mine is either plugged in and sleeping, or sitting on the couch or in the bag sleeping. I usually leave it running all weekend on the laptop stand in my office as I'm on it quite a bit, or I have processes that I run overnight (iDVD encode/record and the like) My PB only gets shut off if I take an airplane trip, or if I have to reboot for a security update from Apple. It hasn't caused any issues over the last 1.5 years. Steve -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: RAM Check
We keep hearing about frequent crashes and RAM. Well, every now and then I get a flurry of these things. I wonder if its my RAM. I was wondering--is there ANY utility that can REALLY test your RAM? When I was back in the computer resale arena, we had a hardware based SIPP/SIMM/DIMM tester. We used that on every memory module that came back through the door that a customer said was bad or causing their machine to crash or in any case where we thought the ram was suspect. I would guess that with the days of the full service, locally owned computer store disappearing, and margins getting thinner, most shops won't have one of these, let alone one that would test laptop memory. Too bad, it was a handy thing. Steve Fuller -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: extreme prices for non-extreme Airport cards...
There is in fact Ethernet wireless bridges which someone will be bound to point out. They may work but they aren't all that small and need a wall plug. Really great for the old Powerbook on the go ;-) Will S FWIW, I have a USB to wireless Ethernet bridge on my son's (non-Mac) PC at home. It's powered off of the USB port and it works fine for his web surfing and java/flash game playing fixes. Steve -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
