ADSL modem/router
Hi all, we currently have a Netgear ADSL modem/router being used in a school situation. As soon as the number of users reach a thresh hold level the modem/router falls over and needs to be restarted (about every 15 minutes). Is there any one else running a successful solution in a similar environment. What modem/router are you using? We are about to toss the Netgear equipment off the top of the highest building... We have downloaded the latest firmware and upgraded 2 of these items but still experience the same problems. regards Eugene de Gouw Coordinator of Computing Helena College Senior School PO Box 52 Glen Forrest Western Australia 6071 PH: : +618 9298 9100 FAX: : +618 9298 8616

Hi , I have a problem :-(. I have a 2nd ethernet card (PCI) in my (Server) Beige G3 which Matt found a driver for and installed it so I am isolated from the net. :-) Well my net work has stopped working and I cannot trouble shoot it. 1. Two computers on the LAN can still talk to one another,but not to the G3 or get on . net. 2. My G3 can still connect to the internet,but cannot see the other two computers. 3.

Some initial troubleshooting steps ... 1. Is the link light on on the switch/hub? If not then the card, the cable or the switch is stuffed - swap each one until the link light comes on 2. Is the IP address on the EZ card in the same subnet as the other 2 computers? If not, change the IP address so all are on the same subnet ** Make sure the isolated subnet is not the same (or doesn't overlap with ) the Internet subnet ie. The on board Ethernet interface IP address 3. When you say the other 2 computers can talk to one another do you mean over IP or Appletalk? If it is Appletalk, can they ping each other?

D-link ADSL modem only works with one Mac?
G'day everyone, Summary: Anyone know what may be causing a D-Link DSL300 ethernet modem to only allow one Mac to connect through it to the internet? Westnet support indicates it should work (in fact the guy I talked to has the same modem and shares his connection to the other PCs in his house). Our Westnet account is supposed to allow multiple computers sharing the one ADSL account. Details: I've just set up my Dad's new D-Link DSL300 ethernet modem packaged with his new Westnet ADSL account and have successfully connected to the net with the Mac that initially sets up the ADSL modem (termed the Manager PC). However, whenever I then plug the ADSL ethernet modem into his 4 port hub to allow 2 other Macs to share the internet connection, only the original (Manager PC) Mac is able to get a DHCP lease from the modem and connect successfully. The other Macs act as if there is no DHCP server on the LAN. The 4-port hub is routing Appletalk between all the Macs as they see each other and the printers over the LAN ok, but they can't get an IP address. If I directly connect one of these other two Macs straight into the D-link modem (no hub) it still doesn't work. However, if I delete the first Mac from the Account Authorisation config webpage of the D-Link and then plug the modem into one of the other Macs and get that Mac to set up the connection (and thus become the Manager PC) it will then work on this new Mac but not the others. Manually entering IP addresses on the other Macs (instead of using DHCP) hasn't worked either. I tried my Powerbook which uses DHCP here at work and at my place with an airport hub and it also can't get a DHCP lease from the ADSL modem unless I use it as the Manager PC. I'm suspecting something is wrong with DHCP server of the D-Link ADSL modem. Any thoughts anyone?

Re: FTP Server
Matt It's been some time since I did detailed analysis on FTP and passive FTP but the problem is usually the other way around. From a cloudy memory it all goes something like this ... With passive FTP the originator connects to a destination port of 21 (I think or is it 20?) with a source port that is randomly generated and greater than 1024. All comms then happens over this connection. With normal FTP (you've called it active) the same thing happens for setup but as soon as any data is to be transferred a new connection is initiated by the host (not the orginator) using the other port (20 or 21) as the source port and the originator's source port as the destination port for the data connection (don't ask me why it was made so complicated). The problem this presented old firewalls and routers was that filtering was usually only possible on destination ports, so to allow the data connection to be established the firewall/router had to allow ports 1024 out. This is now fixed where you simply allow any port out so long as it has a source port of 20 (or is it 21?) - problem solved. Perhaps I have got passive FTP wrong and it does establish a data connection as well using the originator's source port as the destination port!! But I seem to remember that passive ftp didn't do this in order to overcome the apparent overcomplexity of ftp. Also, passive ftp (or any other protocol for that matter) can't use a random port north of 1024 as the destination port because the IP stack on the destination machine wouldn't know what protocol it was dealing with - that's what port numbers are for, to tell the destination machine what protocol it's dealing with. I hope this helps in some way. If you'd asked me 10 years ago about this I'd have been quite a bit clearer on the answer. Feel free to fire some questions back if you think I can help.

I now have a rather annoying problem to deal with. Those of you that were connecting to the server via active ftp, were able to connect and download something. This means that you were only using ports 20 and 21. Those of you that could not connect were using passive FTP, which used a random port north of 1024. The problem this presents is in relation to firewalling the server. If I allow passive FTP, I have to open up all the ports north of 1024, which defeats the purpose of firewalling. On the other hand if I only allow active FTP, most clients wont be able to connect.

Re: D-link ADSL modem only works with one Mac?
Thanks for the feedback Shay and Bob. Westnet has just gotten back to me indicating the DSL-300+ Gen2 indeed does have a DHCP server built-in (as the docs indicated) *but* it will only assign an IP address to one computer. This modem needs to be configured in bridge mode, the connection established using RASPPPoE software and connection sharing software is needed to share the connection to more then one computer. Short of buying an extra ethernet NIC which wouldn't fit in the iMac or the iBook, I can't see a way to turn on Internet sharing using this modem. I'm awaiting confirmation that it indeed won't do the trick in which case we'll see about upgrading to the DSL-302G which does natively support sharing. -Mart At 4:37 PM +0800 2/9/03, Shay Telfer wrote: Any thoughts anyone?

No. Brief summary follows - exact settings left to someone with an actual OSX box to type on :-) You can do the following: * Connect the setup the way you described, machines to hub, modem to hub. * Setup one machine to act as server - the Manager PC * (Optional) Setup a DHCP server on the same machine * Setup the other machines to use the Manager PC as the gateway * Using packet forwarding you can forward information from the other machines to the net and back. * You *don't* need to Ethernet interfaces, you can make an aliased interface on the Manager PC, which has two IP addresses (on internal, one external) How do I know this works? Because I use it everyday. (Under Linux, but this makes no difference, OSX will do this with no problems.) *NOTE* - This will effectively put all machines on the Internet.

Rosemary, You can use Sound Studio, among others, to record your tape tracks. The Sound Studio allows you to split the track into individual sound files. Also, you should resample your tracks as CD Audio before you you burn your tracks onto a CD. Sound Studio has a number of filters that maybe useful in your conversation process.

The missing system I need
I have OS7.5; OS9; and OSX but I made the mistake of giving away my system 8 with a Mac I sold. Anyone know where I can get a copy south of the river (I'm in Melville)?

Email Problems
Hi all, Two issues in one day, I must be on a role. I am running Entourage 2001 on Mac OS9.2 on a flat panel iMac. I haven't been able to recieve email for two days. I've been getting continous error messages say that 'Could not retrieve mail from account account.' with an explanation of the emssage saying 'The end of file was reached.' The only time I have seen anything similar was on the Microsoft support website saying that 'End of file messages may come up on starting up Entourage while there is not enough memory but that is different to what's happening here and there is plenty of RAM allocated. Restarting running no other applications hasn't helped it either. I left on Thursday and the computer worked fine, came in on Monday and had no email. Someone else has used my email account for some reason, I don't know if they could have changed any settings. Possibly related but most likely not the computer has been doing a few strange things, my mouse stopped recognising the right, forward and back buttons and scroll wheel, but a restart fixed that. Its well maintained, Disk First Aid has been run, the desktop was rebuilt, all the standard maintenance except for running Disk Warrior. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it, the IT person that can fix the Mac is expected in the next couple of days but no email for a week is a bit much.

Western Digital Hard Disk Beige G3
My Dad has a beige g3 desktop (rev C), 224MB RAM, 4GB and 30GB HDDs, and tells me the 30GB is dead. Best way for drive info seems to be tabular. Lets try: Partition Size Drive Location OS Macintosh HD~4GB 4GB WD Caviar Internal EIDE8.6 WD 87.98GB 30GB WD Caviar UltraTek/66 9.2.1, 10.2.5 HD-20 ~20GB30GB WD Caviar UltraTek/66 n/a Anyway, I set the old 30GB to slave, set the new 80GB to master, make sure master is at the terminal position on the 80 conductor cable and boot. I install 10.2 from the original disks, setting the first partition to 7.99GB. I connect to the internet, copy over files, update to 10.2.6 etc etc etc. I reboot. I do more stuff. Finally I shut down. I turn it back on. It will NOT boot from 10.2 on the 30GB, and boots from WD 8. TechTool Pro 3.0.3 figured there was a catalog error in the drive, but couldn't fix it. Disk First Aid figured it was fine. Rebuilt the directory with DiskWarrior anyway. No improvement. NukePave time, no joy. Frustrated, I try lots of things over the next few weeks. Summary: * I can boot from all the other volumes in OS 9 and OS X (10.1 and 10.2). * I can boot from the 80GB if I install OS 9 on it * VST UltraTek/66 has the update from OWC. Reapplied just in case * Zapped PRAM, rebuilt desktop (all volumes), CUDAed more than... something * Removed all extraneous devices, cards, USB peripherals (used ADB mouse/kb only) * Tried all master/slave/bus configurations. Connected each of the drives to the internal EIDE and both ATA/66+ cards to the VST card as master/slave/single. * Always installed OS X on a 7.99 partition at the beginning of the 80GB drive * I reformatted and repartitioned between OS X installs * When booted from a different drive, I could still access the 80GB drive even if I couldn't boot from it. * Tried setting boot disk from 8.6 (Mac HD), 9.2.1 and 10.2.5 (both on WD 8) Funny thing is I'm unable to reproduce Dad's problem with the 30GB disk. Long, long Google searches seem to show that many people are using this disk with this ATA card on beige g3s. About half of these instances are failures and nobody seems to have a good reason why. We finally got it working, and it lasted for a few weeks until it stopped again (prompted by an install without first repairing permissions). The only thing I can come up with is that possible the 80GB disk has a fault in it that OS 9 isn't picky enough to care about. I'm hoping that someone on the list would be willing to try to install OS X on this disk using their machine, preferably something with onboard ATA. The ATA card successfully runs 10.2 on the other disk, and the disk in question runs OS 9 flawlessly. TIA, Andrew
RE: Virtual PC 6 question (dynamic drive?)
Mark with the dynamic drive size option, it will only expand and contract to the maximum size that it is defined up to. If the user only made their drive with un upper limit of say 3Gb, it wont grow past that, regardless of how much real hdd space is left. sTEVE -Original Message- From: Mark Secker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 2 September 2003 12:45 PM To: WAMUG Mailing List Subject: Virtual PC 6 question (dynamic drive?) I've just a quick question - I've had a users computer dropped on my desk and he's run out of disk space on his VP 6 boot drive. I've fixed it by making a new fixed drive of 5 GB and copied his data from the old drive BUT I thought that the whole point of the dynamic drive system in VC was that it could dynamically increase/decrease its size as you deleted/created/installed/uninstalled files apps on it? ps: yes tried the zero unused option -- ~ Mark Secker [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph#9380 1855 (ECEL) ECEL Computer Support Officer, University of Western Australia.

Moniters and Flat Panel iMacs
Hi all, I am looking for any possible solution to have a second moniter on a flat pannel iMac. I don't want the second one to mirror the first, I want them both running together. I have been told the card that runs the monitor (sorry, hardware is not my strong point) wont allow this, can I get a replacement card that does? I am looking for any solution at all. I run a G4 tower at home and know I can do it there but at work the iMac is the only Mac and they wont be buying a second one under any circumstances. If anyone has a solution, no matter how difficult or convoluded please let me know. Kind regards, Kelly Duffy Want to chat instantly with your online friends? Get the FREE Yahoo!
