Re: Airport DSL Networking
The problem is you have two routers and you don't need two routers. I'm guessing you need more ports. The thing to do would be to add a simple hub to the Airport. Since you can't get the Airport to not act as a router see if your other router (D-Link was it?) can act as a hub only. If not, just get a simple hub to plug into the back of your Airport. Whatever you do, get the configuration for one device set correctly first before bringing another variable into the picture. -tom -- From: Geoffrey Loeffler Subject: Re: Airport DSL Networking Well, it is early in the morning and I may be confused but... My base station is one of the older ones (only one ethernet port and one modem port). Did you configure the base station before connecting it to the router? If not, connect an ethernet cable directly from the base station to the Pismo. Open Airport Admin Utility on the Pismo. Open Configure. Click the Network tab. Disable Enable DHCP server on Ethernet. Enable Enable Airport to Ethernet Bridging. Quit Airport Admin Utility. Disconnect the cable from the Pismo to the base station. Reconnect the base station to the router. See if the Pismo can now connect. I tried the above and in OS 9.2.2 with the latest software for the single ether net connector graphite software loaded airport under networks, enable ether net bridging was not available choice, the enable DHCP was there and I unchecked it but no other options or screens opened.. The router is working, that's good, but no wireless. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: [OT] Monitor sudden death
Sounds like the power supply. Monitor repairs are usually not cost effect. These weren't great monitors to begin with. We've got two of them here. I'd say buy a new, better monitor. -tom -- From: Laurent Daudelin Subject: [OT] Monitor sudden death A little off-topic but since I didn't know where to start, I thought I would give it a try here. I bought a used Apple Studio Display 21 about a year ago. It was working fine although there has always been a slight problems with some areas on the monitor that were slightly darker. Geometry adjustments could make the problem less apparent but I was unable to make it go away completely. Anyway, over the course of the last few weeks, I would have problems with the monitor, like it would lose its image, or there would be a bad case for degaussing, accompanied by some kind of strange noises, but I was always able to bring it back. Yesterday evening, all of a sudden, the picture shrank toward the middle of the screen and was very fuzzy. I could barely see what was on the screen, much less move the mouse pointer. I tried to switch the resolution by guessing the location of the display menu in OS X. At some point, the picture disappeared completely. I forced the computer to restart but the picture never came back. I put back my Studio Display 17 and all was fine. So, the problem is definitely with the Studio Display 21. So, what are my options? Could I have it repaired for a reasonable fee? I don't want to spend a lot of money on it because I'm afraid it could break again. I've read that those problems where the monitor seems dead are the easier to solve. In the event I want to dispose of it, what can I do?

Re: Upgrading
Airport supports AppleTalk over the wireless connection which very few other wireless routers do. The Buffalo is one of the exceptions.

For example, I've got an Apple LaserWriter 320 that connects with a wire to the serial port on my PB3400 and I use AppleTalk protocol to print to it.

Re: G3 Powerbook control panels questions

I've always set the sleep setting to never on my various PowerMacs, not wanting to cause problems with longer WWW downloads, etc., getting by with just a screen saver. All that's changed now, particularly because of the occasional need to conserve battery power. Is it still possible, or advisable to set the Energy saver control panel to never? If you are on battery you WANT it to sleep if you stop using it. If you are connected power it isn't quite so important but you certainly want the display to dim and hard drive to spin down when not in use. No reason to have the machine generating heat when it is sitting unused. And if you're doing a long slow download the HD will be active so it won't go to sleep though the screen may go blank. I've got my PB set to sleep at 5 minutes. 2. Since I notice now an additional trackpad control panel, is the mouse control panel still necessary, or should it be de-activated in extensions manager? Control Panels take up no memory so there is no benefit to deactivating. I don't think that's correct. I used to use a program many years ago that worked much like Extensions Manager except that it also showed how much RAM each Control Panels and Extension used.

Re: Buying new Powerbook
I've been following this thread as I contemplate the next used PowerBook to buy. I currently have a PB3400 so I would like to get up into the G3 realm next. I see some really good deals on used iBooks but the Pismos seem to be very popular and are usually about the same money or more than a used iBook. What are your thoughts on the iBook vs. the Pismo? -tom I am thinking of buying a new Powerbook, currently I have a Wallstreet series 292 mhz. I am thinking of getting either the 400 or 500 mhz pismo. Will the ram I just purchased work in the Pismo? What are some opinions on the Pismo? Or should I go with the Lombard? Thanks for any insight! FWIW - Faced with a very similar decision (choosing between Lombard or Pismo, basically), I chose Pismo. Main reason for me is that I *NEED* Firewire and it's ugly to have to use a PCMCIA FireWire card. Pismo also seems to have pretty nearly only good reviews; people who own them seem to love them. And it's slightly more OSX-friendly than Lombard. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Buying new Powerbook
Speed is certianly a primary consideration but what about things like the quality of construction? Is the iBook as well made as the Pismo or is it going to fall apart? What about the feel of the keyboard? Things that make up the daily experience of using the computer. So if you had the oportunity to buy a Pismo or an iBook for say, $800 and the hard drive, RAM, etc where all about the same; which would you get and why? -tom -- From: Tim Hodgson Subject: Re: Buying new Powerbook On Mon, Jul 14, 2003 at 8:51 am -0400, Tom Roth wrote: I've been following this thread as I contemplate the next used PowerBook to buy.

One thing to consider is that only the more recent iBooks (last two revisions??) have a 100mhz system bus like the pismo; this does make a significant difference to speed.

Re: transferring files to Wintel over home network?
I did the very same thing a few years ago with a dumb hub. I used an FTP server program on the Mac and logged in from the PC. You're not going to get a GUI interface to transfer the files. Then when I was going from PC to Mac (the right way! ;) I just put the files I needed on a zip disc. I'd suggest zip disc or burn a CD if possible. Much simpler. -tom -- From: Andrew King Subject: transferring files to Wintel over home network? Hello all I want to transfer some files from my Lombard (OS 9.2.2) to my Thinkpad 560X (WIN98) via my home network (Linksys BEFW11SF wireless). I can plug both machines into ethernet ports so I don't have to get a second wireless card. I've had to tinker with the wintel boxes to get them to see each other on the network, how can I make them visible to the Lombard (or vice-versa)?

Re: question regarding DSL modem, Graphite Base station, andpismo
You probably need to configure the Airport with the correct user id and password. Most DSL accounts require that. Once you do it the information will be stored in the Airport and you'll always be on according to the DSL modem. -tom -- From: Michael J. Granado Subject: OT: question regarding DSL modem, Graphite Base station, and pismo Hello, I have a graphite Apple Base Station, Powerbook Pismo, and a recently purchased DSL SBC Yahoo account. I was given a DSL modem by SBC. When I connect the modem directly into my Pismo, internet access works fine. When I connect my modem to the graphite Base station, I don't get an internet connection. What gives? I can get an Airport Signal on my laptop, and I even configured the Base station from my laptop. But I just cant seem to get wireless internet access. Any help would most be appreciated.

Re: OT: question regarding DSL modem, Graphite Base station,and pismo
Typically you want to power up the cable or DSL modem, wait a minute, then power up the router (Airport in this case) and wait another minute and then boot up the computer. Usually the router will get the IP number from the cable/DSL modem and then in turn act as a mini DHCP server for all connecting computers. -tom -- From: Kurt Appling Subject: Re: OT: question regarding DSL modem, Graphite Base station, and pismo RE; an additional thought my base station should be turned on before I turn on computer,it often will fail to work otherwise,but not everytime.

Re: M/S Drops IE for Mac????
Where do you get an OS 9 version of Mozilla? On their website I only see download links for OS X. -tom -- From: Michelle Klein-Hass Subject: Re: M/S Drops IE for Mac And the fact of the matter is that even for those stuck using OS9, Mozilla is a surprisingly good experience. Hopefully the moves to trim the fat in Mozilla by creating Phoenix/Firebird/Thunderbird on the Windows and Linux sides will translate down to a Classic MacOS version that's leaner and meaner. Mozilla works beautifully on my Wallstreet, with only 192MB of RAM. The email client could use a little help -- you can prevent the email client from running scripts and you can also prevent the email client from showing externally-linked pictures but you cannot turn HTML display in email off completely -- but that's just picking nits. Netscape might be on the way out and IE might be doomed, but as long as there is a Free/Open Source software community there will always be a Mozilla. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: unsubscribe
Kyle, Looks like you need to send Jeffrey the Unsubscribe Kit. I'll attach one below but note that these usually sell for $8.95. ;) -tom -- From: Kyle Hansen Subject: Re: unsubscribe On 6/2/03 6:57 PM, Jeffrey Wrobel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the Cybertrough: unsubscribe Please read the footer. Kyle H. Hansen Unsubscribe Kit First, ask your Internet Provider to mail you an Unsubscribing Kit. Then follow these directions. The kit will most likely be the standard no-fault type. Depending on requirements, System A and/or System B can be used. When operating System A, depress lever and a plastic dalkron unsubscriber will be dispensed through the slot immediately underneath. When you have fastened the adhesive lip, attach connection marked by the large X outlet hose. Twist the silver- coloured ring one inch below the connection point until you feel it lock. The kit is now ready for use. The Cin-Eliminator is activated by the small switch on the lip. When securing, twist the ring back to its initial condition, so that the two orange lines meet. Disconnect. Place the dalkron unsubscriber in the vacuum receptacle to the rear. Activate by pressing the blue button. The controls for System B are located on the opposite side. The red release switch places the Cin-Eliminator into position; it can be adjusted manually up or down by pressing the blue manual release button. The opening is self- adjusting. To secure after use, press the green button, which simultaneously activates the evaporator and returns the Cin-Eliminator to its storage position. You may log off if the green exit light is on over the evaporator . If the red light is illuminated, one of the Cin-Eliminator requirements has not been properly implemented. Press the List Guy call button on the right of the evaporator . He will secure all facilities from his control panel. To use the Auto-Unsub, first undress and place all your clothes in the clothes rack. Put on the velcro slippers located in the cabinet immediately below. Enter the shower, taking the entire kit with you. On the control panel to your upper right upon entering you will see a Shower seal button. Press to activate. A green light will then be illuminated immediately below. On the intensity knob, select the desired setting. Now depress the Auto-Unsub activation lever. Bathe normally. The Auto-Unsub will automatically go off after three minutes unless you activate the Manual off override switch by flipping it up. When you are ready to leave, press the blue Shower seal release button. The door will open and you may leave. Please remove the velcro slippers and place them in their container. If you prefer the ultrasonic log-off mode, press the indicated blue button. When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A B. The knob to the left, just below the blue light, has three settings, low, medium or high. For normal use, the medium setting is suggested. After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by switching to the ON position the clearly marked red switch. If during the unsubscribing operation, you wish to change the settings, place the manual off override switch in the OFF position. You may now make the change and repeat the cycle. When the green exit light goes on, you may log off and have lunch. Please close the door behind you. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
