Thanks for the reply, I'll leave the firewall on my Macs on. Using my PC as a router is a temporary solution because it has 2 ethernet cards. I plan to get a dedicated router to do the job soon. In the meantime, I'm going to go through the Zone Alarm manual to get it configured right...

I have a pc running win2kpro that acts as a gateway/router to the internet for my 2 Macs. I installed Zone Alarm pro on the PC yesterday. Now I can't get software updates for my macs, I keep getting this message " The update server could not be found. Make sure your network is configured...

Thanks for the reply, I wasn't doing anything heavy, I had a couple of Safari windows open and Azureaus bit torrent client running in the background downloading some files. Does OS X have a system log file or crash file that I can view? If so, where is it located? Is it difficult to...

Hi, I got this System Shutdown Message that asks me to hold the power button for several seconds. I think it also came out in several different languages. I was running several apps at that time including some webpages in Safari and Azureus bit torrent client. It happened twice and I hate to...

I needed a 3 button mouse to work with Shake and Maya and tried the MS trackball but it did not function properly even with the MS software. Finally, I got the Kensington Studio Mouse w their Mouseworks software and it works great, I'm able to get fast pointer speeds.

I'm not sure if it's the same, but I Installed 512MB memory into my 12" 867 Powerbook and had to remove a single 128MB stick( the PB came w/ 256MB). I did not see the other 128MB stick, so I'm assuming that its built in or something like that. If that's the case, then you might not have to...

coolgrafix, Thanks for the tip, now I can automount the drives and partition I want and don't have to repeatedly type in the user and password to access these drives like before. 10.3.3 is definately easier to deal with. Also, Sharepoints recomended by bobw works well when trying to access...

I found Maya's interface the easiest to work with. 3ds to me is the least intuitive

I have no regrets switching from Maya on pc to running Maya on OS X, I love how Maya 5 works in OS X. I hope they wil continue developing this software for OS X. Right now they lack Maya Unlimited for OSX, but I can't afford that licence anyway. Actually, I was sort of hoping Apple would...

This is awesome, now I can access the partitions and files I wanted. great little utility. Thanks a lot, ed

Hi, Whenever I access my Macs from windows, I can only see files assosiated with the user account that I logged on with but cant see the drives and partitions on my Macs. For work reason, I need to be able to see those partitions from windows because I store my workfiles in different...
