Re: Telstra Wireless Next G Gateway modem/router
Hi Chris, Did he try these DNS address in the NextG router. Untick 'Use automatic DNS' and add the one's for your State. i.e. Primary DNS Server IP Address: 61.9.242.33 Secondary DNS Server IP Address: 61.9.226.33 Put the Router IP Address as the DNS Server on your MacBook Pro http://bigpond.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/bigpond.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=5586display=content Cheers, Ronni On 21/05/2010, at 11:36 AM, Chris Burton wrote: Hi Ronni Thanks heaps for your link and info on this problem. I spent over 3 hours with the Telstra guy with no solution except that it appears that the earlier software version on the loan router works, but the later version on the new router does not!! We went through all the settings outlined on the admin page as well. The Primary and secondary DNS server addresses differ between the link and the actual admin summary page. He is going to ask Big Pond to investigate, as it may be a common thread for other mac users.

I have an unusual problem it seems using the above system with a 15 MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8 intel 2.2) at home for my online service. This link to Whirlpool about it (dated Nov 2008) I received from a very helpful manager at Telstra Countrywide in Bunbury who is as baffled as myself about the new modem/router I purchased a few months ago. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1096198.html The baffling thing is that his loan router he has sent me (so I can still be online) actually does work with my mac, but the new one doesnt and we cannot understand why. The new one has exactly the same problem and the guy describes in the first post of the forum ie I can get online for about a minute before I get no connection. I have to constantly restart the modem, or go into the bigpond admin page to restart the software. The funny thing is he can use this new modem with no worries on his PC at his work in Bunbury. This is the second new modem I have had and it does the same thing. If anyone has any experience like this I would love to hear if you have been able to find a solution. The telstra bloke is coming around again to set it up and go through a few ideas he has after speaking with people at his work. Many thanks for any help and advice on this problem kind regards chris -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Hard Drive Capacity
Could someone please tell me what could/may cause the remaining hard drive capacity on my Mac Mini to, in the past two weeks, drop from 279 GB Available to 267 GB Available.

Re: Hard Drive Capacity
how long is a piece of string? When you download files they are normally compressed so when you install them they will be much larger. You may also have a log file that is growing in size so may be worth doing a search for all new files in the last two weeks and see what sizes they are.

If yours is a Dual Bay, you could have both drives in it if this is the case. You could have the combination of 2 units SATA I/II HDD up to 2TB (2 terabytes) in one enclosure.

Re: sometimes I get confused
In recent years there have beed IDE drives followed by SATA drives. If the case containing the 300 gig hard drive is only usb 1 I'm guessing it is of the IDE era as usb 1 has been largely replaced by usb 2 in recent years. (Although 300 Gb was rare at that time) A new 1 Tb drive is most likely a SATA drive. Physical size is the other consideration. Most Desktop machines or externally powered Hard drives were 3.5. Most laptops or USB powered external drives are 2.5 You need to determine both the type of drive and the physical size before you can be certain they are interchangeable. Having said that I bought an external 2.5 SATA HD enclosure off eBay for about $8 delivered. Why don't you see if you can purchase an enclosure once you know what type of drive you've got and keep them both?
