Airport, bigpond ADSL and SMTP e-mail relaying

2004-05-04 Thread Mark Secker


a quick (but verbose) musing on setting up an  ADSL+Airport combo and 
a request for assistance from those who may have been through this:


Yesterday my flatmate had Bigpond ADSL put on at home and I've been 
trying to configure my mail client to use bigponds SMTP server 
mail-hub.bigpond.net.au to send out e-mail. What I get is a server 
not responding error from Eudora. Setting up the same details in 
Entourage gives the same sort of error.


All other TCP/IP  and UDP applications work fine (web 
browsing/chat/video streaming etc)


The eudora progress window shows a dns resolved IP address for the 
SMTP server that Network utilities  pings with low ping time, and the 
IP number resolves back to the correct identical  name.



I POP off my UWA account and  simply want to send mail using Bigponds 
SMTP server rather than setting up a bigpond e-mail account just to 
send mail (or use VPN to send via my uwa mailhost - tried  VPN first 
could not get it  to work - separate issue I think).



After trying  different permutations of the smtp host name ( .com, 
.com.au,  .net, mail. etc) I got the same host not responding 
message (when using the .au extension) or a host not found for 
other permutations.


I though they may require authentification and/or  smtp to be sent to 
a non standard port number but both the setup literature and the 
online help make no mention of such a requirement and simply show a 
standard SMTP setup.
Checking out my flatmates' computers (windows XP) their mail clients 
(using bigpond e-mail accounts) are setup using the default/standard 
SMTP server settings and work.


The only permutation that _MAY_ affect things is that, because I 
don't want to run a ethernet cable halfway round the house, I have an 
Airport base station plugged in to the ADSL router/hub.
It is setup to bridge  route and handles distribution of DHCP 
assigned IP's on the wireless side of the network to my 2 airport 
enabled macs (so both of them come up with 10.0.0.x IP addresses) the 
base station  receives it's own DHCP IP# from the ADSL for talking on 
the ethernet side of the network. Maybe Bigpond doesn't like  traffic 
routed of a privet network using its smtp severs? though this would 
be strange because any business using Bigpond broadband would want to 
do _exactly_ that for may reasons (including security and the ability 
to use more IP#)


Tonight I will try removing the base station and run via an ethernet 
cable and if that works then turn off routing (private networking) on 
the base station -will the base station  then appear like a dumb 
hub to the ADSL router and only  DHCP assign an IP# to my Macs or 
will the basestation still need to get it's own IP#?

Hi,

Its a networking term that identifies the address as terminating on 
your site - as opposed to theirs, its defined  as below and is used by 
anyone in the networking industry not just telstra. Its starting to 
pop up more and more nowadays because adsl equipment means that the IP 
address actually terminates on your modem as opposed to analog modems 
where the IP address terminates at the ISP's rack of modems.

Re: MPEG to iMovie?

2004-05-04 Thread Martin Hill
Since there are a number of other requests for info along these lines,
here's the email I posted to an earlier question on iMovie editing DVDs.

 I tried to check iMovie documentation regarding this but couldn't find

You will need to convert the footage from the DVD into a format iMovie
understands before you can import it.  DVDs use MPEG-2 format while iMovie
only works with the DV format (DV Stream).

Probably the easiest way to do this with unprotected DVD media is using
Apple's Quicktime Pro (and the latest versions of Quicktime which finally
work with MPEG-2). 

1. Register Quicktime Pro for US$29 at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/buy/
2. Enter the Registration number in Quicktime Player
3. Choose Open in QT Player
4. Open the Video_TS folder on the DV and select the first .vob file on the
DVD 
5. Select Export from the File menu
6. Choose DV Stream from the pop-up menu
7. Choose your destination and then wait for a while for QT to convert your
footage to DV format.
8. Repeat for all remaining .vob files on your DVD
9. Next import these files into iMovie, and edit them to your heart's
content.

Note that extracting video from copy-protected DVDs (for backup or playback
off HD) needs other tools:

Re: Edit Mpeg4?

2004-05-04 Thread Martin Hill
Roger, it sounds like you are importing the DVD footage off DVD using an
application like DVDbackup and then converting it into iMovie rather than
capturing analog video from the DVD.  Is this correct?  In that case you
need to break it up into chunks smaller than 2GBs manually - iMovie only
automatically breaks footage into 2GB chunks itself when doing an analog
video capture.

The easiest way to do this is to use Quicktime Pro to copy and paste 9
minute chunks (9 minutes of DV footage is just a bit less than 2GBs at the
standard DV datarate of 3.6MB/s) into separate files and then import those
files into iMovie.  It is laborious but it works.

Re: 'cpe'

2004-05-04 Thread Greg Pennefather
Yay James!  The pedants amongst us finally have a voice.  It is always
grating to hear someone use premise when they mean premises.  Basically,
premise is not the singular of premises.

CPE is a generally accepted industry term meaning customer premises
equipment.  Simply, any equipment associated with a service that is on the
customer's premises.  In the case of ADSL, it is the ADSL modem or router.
Any equipment you have beyond that (hub, switch, Airport) is not CPE because
it is not strictly required by the service provider to provide the service.
Clear as mud.

Re: powerbook or ibook?

2004-05-04 Thread Mark Secker
I'm seriously considering getting a laptop. The main reason is for 
presentations vi digital projectors at conferences  often connecting 
to the net and for working on websites. What should I consider ibook 
or powerbook?


depends on needs and finances

for me, due to their compact size I would consider a 12 iBook for 
presentations/travel  if I had a large (17 +)  external screen for 
work at home or a second computer.


Someone suggested there's not a direct connector to a projector from 
an ibook and the memory wasn't good enough to run a presentation.



Nor is there one on the PowerBook - both will require adaptors 
(supplied) to hook up to the SVGA port/cable on the data-projector. 
Powerbooks stopped having VGA plugs with the second iteration of the 
G4 Ti-Book)


The main thing is that Powerbooks will allow an the two monitors to 
act as an extended desktop AND also mirror  where as iBooks will ONLY 
mirror their displays.


If you are used to extended desktops you will find it hard to go back 
unless you have a sizable single monitor.



memory is cheap - simply add another 256MB or even max it out  to 
1.25 GB if you want - gone are the days of $1000 memory upgrades - 
even with the base 256Mb install you will be able to run Powerpoint 
no problems unless you have full screen video - and even then I'd say 
you'd be fine 95% of the time. But still recommend upgrade to at 
least half a GB


If I want to connect using ibook or powerbook to a windows network 
with a mac machine, how difficult is it? Do I need extra hardware or 
software?

Not all places are enlightened enough to have mac networks.


easy - it's actually harder to convince the Windows networking guys 
that it can be done - after months of doing it I still have to 
explain to our network administrator that Yes I CAN log in to the 
Windows domain - If they use a domain setup (rather than a 
workgroup) you'll  need the IP number of the Primary Wins server - to 
which your Network administrator  will probably say (like mine did) 
You use a mac what could you possibly want the Wins sever IP number 
for?.



Using OS X 10.3 I authenticate on to a windows domain  mount  shared 
volumes and copy files backwards and forwards with Windows users and 
even use NT shared printers without problems (well that's not true - 
they used to work for me without problems then I got  under the hood 
and mucked around with it and stuffed it up - think I'll need to fix 
that eh?)




Can I share my adsl connection through my imac to an ibook or 
powerbook relatively easily? What extra stuff will I need to buy?



yes quite easy though the details depend on the physical 
configuration you go with when you decide post back to the list and 
myself or someone else will be able to give you the nitty-gritty.


By far the easiest option ins if your  ADSL modem (router) handles 
multiple users  (and it should)- if not ADSL routers with multiple 
ethernet ports are cheap (less than $70 if you look around)  it's 
plug and play - with the mac pretty much networking  straight out of 
the box. if your ADSL router has a single ethernet port but will 
handle routing of multiple machines you can simply buy a small hub 
(less than $50 shop around or s/h) and plug the ADSL router and your 
macs in to that (note you plug the router in to  the uplink port if 
it has one)


If your macs are Airport equipped instead of a hub an Airport (or 
compatible) base station can be plugged in to the router/hub or buy a 
Airport compatible wireless ADSL router (modem) to replace your 
current ADSL router.



if your ADSL router is USB only or doesn't do routing of multiple 
clients then you  use one mac to act as a router by turning on the 
share my internet connection option in System Preferences/Sharing.


Theoretically (I haven't done exactly this) an Airport base station 
should be able to be plugged in to your non-routing ADSL hub and 
supply the same functions as the above share my internet connection 
but with out  requiring that mac stay on the network to service the 
other machines.

Re: Airport, bigpond ADSL and SMTP e-mail relaying

2004-05-04 Thread Greg Pennefather
Mark

A couple of things to try before making any radical changes to your network.

1.  You say you POP off a server at UWA.  It looks like you have your Reply
to address set as the UWA address.  It may be that the Telstra SMTP server
won't route your mail because of this.  Try setting your reply to address to
your Bigpond address and see if that helps.

2.  Check that you can connect to the SMTP server.  You can do this by using
Terminal and typing in telnet mail-hub.bigpond.net.au 25 - without the
quotes obviously.  If you connect try typing in HELP or HELO to see if you
get a response.  Any response will be very basic so don't expect much but if
you get one then your computer can connect to the server and there is some
other issue probably unrelated to your home network setup.  Type in QUIT to
disconnect.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

For those who have been asking about getting footage off DVDs to

Re: powerbook or ibook?

The main thing is that Powerbooks will allow an the two monitors to 
act as an extended desktop AND also mirror  where as iBooks will 
ONLY mirror their displays.


If you are used to extended desktops you will find it hard to go 
back unless you have a sizable single monitor.




There are hacks which seem to enable this functionality on some iBooks

http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html

Use at your own risk. Note that there is no mention of the recent 
iBook releases on the compatability page, although there is a post in 
the discussion forums which indicates that it does.

My new 17 Powerbook is my first laptop and if your finances allow I would

1) You don't need a second monitor (unless you are doing serious DTP 90% of

2) It's not that heavy

For quick pages, yes.

My standard operating procedure at the moment is to put photos into 
iPhoto and then export them to the free 'Gallery' via the gallery 
plugin. http://gallery.sourceforge.net/ (requires some unix hackery 
to set up Gallery of course)


I was halfway through moving everything to a new server, so 
everything's in a bit of a disarray at the moment. And to make things 
easier we lost power to our suburb just as we were departing for the 
hospital and the old server fell over.


Have fun,
Shay

Laser Printer

2004-05-04 Thread Bob Jackson
Somebody was recently asking about laser printers. Viking 
http://www.vikingop.com.au/ is currently selling the Brother HL 
1430 laser printer for $299. I have one of these printers and can 
recommend them.
