Both ATI and Nvidia gave up, long ago, the simple procedure od stamping the model name/no. On the card (prob. Due to outsourcing sub-contracting tasks). This situation begs a larger question: just how does one determine the model of a card (short of installing it and hoping the OS gives an accurate report)? Is there a site somewhere that list part no.-to-model specs? Thanks for the input, Wayne.

Jane, I would give LogMeIn a try.

That could be the issue. It seems silly, but those simple things are usually the ones we forget to do. The easiest way to enable Screen Sharing is from a Finder window, any window.

I had the very same sort of thing happen to me last week (on a pc, but it was an nVidia card, too) where someone wanted to hook up a 24 monitor to their PC. It worked, and the card is advertised as supporting the resolution needed, but the image kept getting artifacts and kept cutting in and out. We dialed the thing back to the original monitor again and everything's fine. My conclusion is it's a flaky video card; I suspect that this is your case as well. If it works AT ALL in Leopard for anyone it's not a driver issue, and artifacts are almost *always* linked to bad hardware rather than drivers. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

See: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329842-263.html The biggest issue is connecting to HIS computer on your home network, which presumably goes through some sort of wired or wireless router. You need to set up some stuff in advance: Use DynDNS to give your home network connection a 'permanent' IP address. http://www.dyndns.com/ follow the 'free domain name' link. Set up NAT routing in your home router to his computer, whichinvolves giving his computer a fixed ip address in the router's range, and forwarding the VNC ports to that computer. Most home routers (including Airport) make this relatively easy, see your documentation. Simple home networking lesson: A 'router' is a device that connects local area networks (LAN's) together into a 'network of networks'. The 'Internet' is a very large such network of networks. Computers on the same LAN can talk directly to each other; computers on different LAN's need to talk through a router. This was really the key insight that made the internet possible. Virtually all home networks consist of an external router (cable/dsl modem, Fiber router for those lucky, lucky few to live in FiOS territory) that possesses the externally visible IP address of your internet connection. On the 'inside the house' side of the network you have a private, non-routing IP address range, your own LAN. Typically they're either 192.168.n.n or 10.n.n.n I've seen both in use by various brands of wired and wireless routers. You CANNOT access an address in these ranges from outside that address range; they're defined as 'non-routable' Routers reject any request to connect to those addresses. This poses a problem. If you have a large private network, and, say, a web server or a computer needing a VNC connection how do you bridge that unbridgeable gap between the single external IP address and the internal address given to that computer. This is what Network Address Translation (NAT) does. The router has the smarts to say I have a request on my public IP address for Port 80 connection (which is the http default port). I need to know which ip addresson my internal LAN handles these requests. It looks though it's table of port and IP addresses and if one address is set as the pone that responds to port 80 requests, then the connection is forwarded to that internal IP address. The requestor on the outside has no idea that it's talking to a computer on the internal LAN, all it ever sees is the external IP address. This is managed by giving the internal computer a fixed address on the internal LAN, then listing that address for 'port 80' requests (for a web server. Foir VNC it's port 5900) See: http://www.realvnc.com/support/portforward.html -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

You know, the internal VNC function has a different password (assigned through a different pref) than the desktop password? It's accessed thru Sharingremote management computer setting I am on Leopard, so may be slightly different for you.

best site to check values
Hello, I'm new to the group. I'd love to get a link to the best site to check the value of a couple of older Macs that I own, specifically a Power PC 266MHz beige desktop. This unit is in working condition. And I still have the original CD plus cables. Any links, or interest in this machine is much appreciated.

Re: best site to check values
glen is right on. eBay. Specifically choose the option to show competed auctions. No offense, this is a G3 right? It's getting long in the tooth, and at the point where it's not worth the shipping cost. About a year ago, I found someone commenting that she turned G3s into audio jukeboxes for friends, and I sent it. I paid shipping and did this only because I loved that machine and wanted to find her a good home. But for functionality, the MDD G4s are at the peak of MIPs/$$. A dual 1.25GHz for $150 running Leopard. I'll take those over new PCs any day. But I digress. On Jan 21, 5:32 pm, cdphoto ch...@cdphoto.com wrote: Hello, I'm new to the group.

Remote Login is for logging in via ssh through Terminal. It *shouldn't* need to be enabled, but then Web Sharing shouldn't be needed either but as I recall Web Sharing does need to be enabled. Sharing is one area where Tiger is a little weak. In order to share an internet connection for example, you have to turn the firewall off.
