You can achieve the networking/sharing requirements very cheaply and easily
by getting an 8 port switch/hub. Won't give the wireless or ADSL 2/2+
compliance though.

Plus, you will need a port to plug in your VoIP adapter

Re: ADSL Modems

Hi Callum,

I'm not sure what experiences people have had with Belkin, but you may want
to have a look at this product.  It meets all your requirements and has at
least a 5 year warranty.  (The web page also says lifetime warranty, but I
guess 5 years is a lifetime in IT?).  Here's the link:



Please email me off list for further details - cheers.

RE: download podcasts

[Hugh Griffiths]

Thanks, but it doesnt have the earlier episodes, they seem to hide them so that 
you can only get to the m4a file which wont download as a podcast, perhaps I 
didnt make my email clear enough, 


The "official" site for the podcast ( as detailed in your email) only has the 
lates five episodes shown. I want to get the earlier ones, I am missing 2, 3 
and 4.

I have fiddled aroudn by typing in guesses for the podcasts and found that some 
of the links work but wont download as a podcast,they will only play live 
through itunes.

Can someone help me to save eithger the mp3 or m4a version of these episodes to 
disk so I can listen on my ipod.

ADSL Modems

[Callum Prior]

Howdy,

I'm looking at upgrading my D-Link DSL 300 Modem and was hoping for  
some advice.


What I need to do:

*Network to / share the ADSL from my Mac with my housemate's Windows PC
*Be able to network our Xboxes for our HALO nights (at least four  
ethernet ports)
*Have wireless capacity for guests, or that MacBook Pro I have my  
eyes on.

*Be ADSL 2 & 2+ compatible

The wireless is optional, but would be really cool.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

Callum

I Pod

[ken]

Hey folks,
my IPod (30 Gig, 1 month old will not appear in I Tunes now, was 
before, When I connect it the screen says an update is available, when 
I enter the password it says


"The iPod could not be unmounted because it is in use. Please close any 
open files on the iPod and try again."


The IPod is not on, just connected to the G4 via the usual lead.

On the Ipod it tells me videos are in the VIDEO folder but when I play 
them they are audio files?!


Is there a procedure for connection that I'm not aware of?

Weird... any ideas?

Ta,

Ken Jackson

Re: Can't Load iWeb/dotMac Pages on Windows Network

[Paul Doyle]

Hi Rob,

I really wish I could help. I love your use of pod-casting for your 
students. We really are standing at the beginning of a new era where 
anyone can share what the produce in an easily accessible way.


Unfortunately the subscribe link does not seem to work in itunes for me 
either. Had a nice time after following the listen link though.


I am not on a windows network.

I tried copying your link and using the advanced/subscribe to podcast 
method and that didn't work either.


I know this information might not help you much but I wanted to offer 
my encouragement in the hope that you will persist in your worthwhile 
pod-casting endeavors.


Cheers
Paul

PS: My current favorite podcast is Rocket-boom. I would be interested 
to know if there are any other fans out there and what other podcasts 
are being listened to by wamuggers.

[Mark Heeler]

A few new themes for Blackberrys are out.  Very OSX like indeed.

http://www.millenniastudio.com/MacBerry7100.html

Makes my Blackberry look a bit like a ApplePhone (!)

Anyway, these devices work really well with a Mac especially now with  
some free software...


http://www.pocketmac.com/products/pmblackberry/index.html

My 7290 works well with my cars Bluetooth phone kit too...

No camera or MP3 player included but a great communicator (push email  
is great).
.mac allows you to forward a copy of any emails so you can be  
receiving WAMUG

download podcasts

[Hugh Griffiths]

Hi, I have just discovered the insanely funny Ricky Gervais podcasts and
have been trying to get hold of episodes one to four ( I only have five
onwards), after much googling imanaged to get a copy of episode 1, but
it's a mp3 not a m4a and so it wont work exactly the same as a podcast (
although I can listen to it on my ipod)

My question is after a bit of fiddling around I have discovered that
although there are no links to the earlier episodes, the files still
exist, in other words if I just type in 
http://podcast.rickygervais.com/26decepisode4.m4a as a URL stream  in
itunes I can play it, but I cant save it and then listen to it as a
podcast, same with the http://podcast.rickygervais.com/26decepisode4.mp3
version.

Any ideas how to get this to work as a real podcast?

Hugh

Is "20/12" a reference to her eyesight? I guess she's turned on the
Zoom feature, which means you should find that your screen contents
are larger than normal and do not fit within your screen's physical
display area (which is why the contents have to move when you move the
mouse). You can turn Zoom off by going into System Preferences >
