Re: IP problem on PowerBook 3400 - static IPs
might want to try static IPs, not elegant but works for my 5 wired home networked MACs running 8.6( three 3400's and two G3s) i set up my linksys box to start assigning DHCP addresses at IP 100, so i have addresses under 100 to assign statically not elegant, simple, works for me jim on 10/27/03 12:19 PM, Tom Roth wrote: I have a PowerBook 3400 running OS 9.1 at home connected to a Netgear = Wireless (or wired) router which is in turn connected to a cable modem. = Lately, if I have to reboot or if I shutdown when it comes back up it = fails to acquire a TCP/IP number even though it's set to do so.

Re: quick tip: netscape 7 hangs on a 3400 ? (works now)
yeah, guess its one of those personal prefs one other NS 7 feature i use is grouped bookmarks. there are six pages that i open up when i kick off NS in the morning. NS 7 allows you to group them into one bookmark and then from one click all six pages open up in separate TAB'd windows can then just click on the TAB to get to the one to work with not sure if mozilla has the group'd bookmarks feature or not rBooks Digest #1362 Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2003 22:11:28 -0400 From: Eric L.

Only if you open a gazillion and hit the edge of the screen. But if you open a gazillion, how readable are the gazillion tabs? My browsing habit is to open perhaps a dozen articles from a single page I'm reading and if I open them in the desired order, there's no hunting for windows -- you just click on the last one (or use that key combo that I can never remember). Although I've downloaded NS 6 7 (I've got an iMac running 9.2.1 at work), I guess I'm still left scratching my head about how the tabs could be so drastically different than what I already do. But alas, I think we're stretching the 'once-removed' rule for too long, so I'm going to let that be that for this thread. (That is, until I possibly encounter a problem trying one of these out on my 3400... ;-) ) - Eric. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

quick tip: netscape 7 hangs on a 3400 ? (works now)
i was able to get Netscape 7 up an running on my 3400, began trashing Prefs until it worked, thx i agree bout the TAB'ed windows, don't knock it till you try it. no smaller windows each new window and trying to find the open window you want quick tip, NS7, IE5.1 and NS4.8 all offer menu and keyboard shortcuts to cycle you to the next browser window/tab. easy to walk through the stuff you have open. being the lazy person i am i programmed one of the buttons on my kensington trackball with the keyboard shortcut so the next window/tab is just one click away jim Eric L. Strobel wrote: Does it still do that idiot redrawing every time it gets done loading a page? No. Also Netscape 7 (AKA Mozilla 1.1 is a complete, from the ground-up rewrite of the entire program. The *only* thing it shares in common with NS 4.x is the name. However, it takes somewhat more computing horsepower and memory than the old Netscape. BTW, I'm not so sure I see what the big deal of tabbed windows is. In IE I can open a link into a new window that's behind my other windows. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Tabbed browsing is addictively useful, particuarly when doing searches. (I'm in Mozilla about 4-7 hours of any given day, as it's my e-mail and browser...depending on what development I'm doing...we use the browser as the client for all our database stuff, so I'm in a browser a LOT) And IE just plain sucks donkey parts under OSX. It's like Microsoft deliberately tried to see how many ways they could screw it up. Mozilla/Netscape will be taken off my computers when you pry them out of my cold dead fingers... -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 3400 Qs cont - any ideas ???
first thx for the help more details, 3400/240, 144M, VM off, IE and NS caching to a 15M ram disk i down rev'd CARBONLIB 1.6 down to 1.4 seemed to help, might be my wishful thinking though thx again Date: Thu, 29 May 2003 22:39:26 -0400 From: Eric L.

Do you have adequate RAM allocated to these apps?? Your cable modem should have little to do with how well you handle java or javascript. Until they execute, they're just like other page code you're downloading for display and should come down to your machine fairly quickly. It's the execution that could be boogered up. If you've got lots of plugins (or a few, but one of them is Flash), then you need to bump up your browser's RAM allocation by a bunch. Other possible factors include -- 1) are you having the browser cache on a RAM disk or disk image (w/ ShrinkWrap you can tell it to load the entire image into RAM if possible)? If not, then you could be bogging down due to HD access, especially in the case of NS, which slams your drive with a bazillion files. OR 2), are you accessing a site that's got a bandwidth problem on their end? Hope some of this helps... - Eric. -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
