I don't know if I was the last person running token or not, but if I was you can have my title if you get this working. I assume you have RJ45 token ports? I avoided these and stuck with all "serial"...

OK I think it is safe to assume that there is something wrong with the base, I am going to have her call apple and go that route. If it ends up being something in the configuration I will post the...

Wow that was fast, thanks!

I did the first one but I am skipping the second, I was hoping to have username populated but still require authenticaion (not a big deal.)

Hello everyone,

I have a fresh install of dapper drake and I would like to change two things from the default behavior:

1) How do you change to a "single click" desktop?

2) Can this system...

Actually there is a VMware Player that is free, the only trick is getting a virtual machine already made. If you need to create VM sessions you will need at least VMware Workstation (around 190$)

Hello all, I am not much of a mac guy but trying to help out a friend. She lives out in the country and dialup is the only internet access and has been using it for years on her imac. Now she has an...

What you are trying to do is fugly without the right hardware. The right hardware and configuration would be pricey.

The best shot at a "free" solution might be to write a line of code before the...

OK unless you have turned off routing somehow you must have different networks on each interface of a router. Since four of those ports are really just switchports off an internal interface that...

Nope, you should be good. You will either need to use an uplink port on one/both of the switches or a crossover cable to connect the switches together, after that it should all be interchangeable.

Thanks for the link!

Are your wired PC's DHCP? You stated that they work, is your manual IP in the same subnet as the working wired devices? Do they have the same defautl gateway?

You say you...

Wow man, you don't have an easy fix. I don't know what your budget is but I will tell you what I run in my house:
- Cisco PIX 501
- Cisco 2912 switch
- Cisco 340 Aironet AP (yeah the old VxWorks...

The address it was getting would have been a 169 address, basically a MS code for a failled DHCP negotiation. A "MAC Filter" can be put on most AP's to block or permit certain MAC addresses (you will...

Usually this is because either the MAC is on a block list or the WEP key the PC is sending doesn't match what the AP is looking for for that SSID.

Are you using the default SSID?
Did you set a...

Also when you view your wireless connections, what is your status, number of packets sent, and number of packets recieved?

basic internet connectivity should pretty much work with nothing more than a 10 port hub and a router that can do NAT if not provided by the DSL provider. You can pick up a SoHo router from Linksys...

Core switch is a concept, like the OSI model. There are certain settings that will normally be associated with core switches.

If you could spend a little time on Cisco's website pages like this...

Core, distribution, and access switches are mostly conceptual. One switch might be an access switch for one company and a core switch for another. The manufacturers will MARKET different switches...

The OSI model is a 7 layer model, TCP/IP a 4 layer model because it doesn't need to carefully identify things outside of OSI layers 3 & 4 since that will be left up to the media on the low end and...

I would bet that either IPX/SPX or broadcasts are getting you. I have had to enable routing of IPX for several clients but I don't think you will be able to do that via VPN since it will likely only...

This may help or hurt but here is a real basic example of how the layers work.

7-Person types words in a new email and clicks SEND
6-Outlook knows it needs to use HTLM formatting for message...

I use the OSI to remember what kinds of Pizza to keep (Sausage) and which ones get Thrown Away.

It may be quite old now but Jason Nash had a very nice description in his MCSE study guide (NT4) for...

I have worked on some 128k and 256k DSL lines that were quite slow. You might want to set your MTU to 1492 and see if it helps with the speed.

Also, I would pull up Windows Task Manager and watch...

They probably wont be "sharing" the bandwidth, especially if downloading is going on. If you got a high end switch you could rate limit the ports to the wired pc and the wireless AP but that is about...

If the proxy was deployed correctly you will have to use it, probably 98% likely you are hosed and have to play by the rules. Probably the easiest way to do the things people are stopping you from...

It depends, if it is really just a switch utilization issue than yes, it COULD help. If it is spyware/virus infected PC's bombing your network with traffic then it probably won't help.

A good...

Orange can mean many different things, probably that it has negotiated a 10Mbps connection. You can look up your NIC model and see what it means, or check out your system logs/current status it will...

debian would run on all of them, it can take a few hacks to get it running on mac hardware but you can google it. If you ran linux (even different distros) it would relieve any compatability issues...

Hi Arati,

As a general rule I use PAT to conserve on IP's. The exception is this: if you are merging two companies that have the same IP subnets you can use a 1-1 NAT pool to get them working...

Here is an update on how it all went down:

Vaio pcg 731 arrived: p200mmx, 128 ram, 2 gig HD. Hardware is faster and certainly in better condition than I remembered, but ancient nontheless. My only...

I suggest the 98 box get a 3.x version of VNC (I use TightVNC at home, RealVNC for work stuff) and set it to run in server mode (remember to undo this later) and set a password. The 4.x versions do...

Thanks ALC I am going to do just that, here is my plan for this weekend:

1) Upgrade RAM to 96 (max) and throw in a 60 gig HD
2) Partition and format HD
3) Boot DSL and run HD install to boot...

Given all that info I have to ask, can anyones wireless laptop see your AP or is it only accessable thru the wired network for anyone?

I am getting an old sony laptop (PI-2XXish, 32ram, 1 gig HD) that I am about to rebuild for myself (maxing RAM and adding a bigger HD when I do.)

I planned to do a Debian min install and add what...

by chance have you successfully used the wireless at a coffee shop or someplace? I would just like to rule out that whole bunch of stuff at once.

Is WEP set at either end? If so do the key numbers...

Is the pc set to connect to unsecure networks?

Is the AP broadcasting the SSID?

Also if you plug your pc into the motorola and it works, then you plug in the router without rebooting the motorola it will not work. Make sure that you power off the motorola anytime you change what...

I would return the cable router, put the motorola back in and reboot it, get a ethernet router with wireless, plug it's outside port into the network port on the motorola, and try it again.

I bought all mine for between 50 - 150$ US, so I guess that is relative. I don't think you will find any brand cheaper new or for much less used so I would go with it as long as they promise no DOA.

AIR-PCM340 is the part number I am using in three laptops here at home. I have used many 340's and 350's for different clients and I consider them interchangable for home users. The 350 is...

Wow, you are in great shape then.

If you go to the store and pick up a card off the shelf you will probably need to get a external cdrom for the 560 or a "parrallel port backpack cdrom" (use the...
