Hiya Sat, Thanks for the infomation. Any idea where I can get the information for the required fields? I see in the WINS tab that it has a space for the workgroup name, but I can't make anything stay in the field. Similarly, what are the settings in the directory application? I remember...

Hi all, I have a G4 Powerbook that was running quite Happily with Panther (10.3) and Vista. I was able to view/drag/drop files from the Mac with Vista, and I was able to mount Vista shares on the Mac. Sigh...it seems the high point of Mac/PC networking was 10.3.3 and has been broken since...

Hi Guys, Thanks for your help. Weeeiiiird stuff. I ran the singer user mode and did the FSCK trick twice. Then rebooted from the CD. Disk utility RAN properly that time, and fixed the HD. The funny noise has gone away and everything seems intact. Strange critter! Thanks for...

Hiya Gia, Ok, I finally got it into the Single User mode, and tried your hint: This is what I got: During bootup, it tells me that HFS: Embedded volume offset is not a multiple of physical block size. It also says that the Root Device is mounted read only. After entering the...

Hi all, Got a boot up problem. Mac was running fine. Went to power it up, and it got stuck at a grey screen (no logo). The hard drive sounds like it has gotten a angry mosquito in it. I went through the normal trouble shooting steps. Reset the NV ram and all that. It won't go into the...

Hi guys, Thanks for the responses. After all the fiddling with software and such for 2 days, I rebooted the router and fixed everything. I don't mind the hard answers...it's the easy ones that work AFTER you've tried the hard answers that stink <G>.... Thanks again all! Best, FD

Hi all, Got a new spin on an old problem here: Have a G4 Powerbook (OSX 10.3.9) and a PC w/Vista (Home Premium) networked through a Linksys router. The Mac can see the Vista PC fine. I can log in and see all shares and do all the stuff we love to do. Internet connectivity for both comps...

Hi MM, Yes, I understand that is not the way to print to the AIO. Instead, what I am talking about is sending a file to the AIO to be faxed, rather than printed. In PC land, when I print a file, I can choose "Photosmart 3310" in the printer dialog and it prints normally, OR I can choose...

Hi all, My old scanner finally died, so I ponied up for a new AIO printer. I have to say, HP the 3310 is pretty neat. I have it hooked up via a wired ethernet (but it has wireless built in). It is installed as a Rendezvous network printer (via a Linksys router that my PC is also hooked...

Hiya Zammy, good to talk to ya again... Thats what I wound up doing... Makes it hard to print to windows, though...annoying, not impossible. Did you ever upgrade to VPC 7? If you did, any comments? I use VPC a bit on the road, and wouldn't mind a bump in the speed. Unfortunately I had to...

Hiya All, I know this is a windows question, BUT, it's almost impossible to slough through the chaff on this in the normal channels... I have a 12" PB networked to a PC with Windoze XP Pro. In the past, I have run VPC 6.1 with virtual switch turned on, so as to be able to network my VPC...

Actually, its a M515. I found two ways to do it. One is the method described by Technohappymeal (which has scripts), and the other was with a small program, and one line of Unix code. In either case, you still need to dive in and disable/enable your Hotsync. I guess my point is that either...

Hi Randy, How did you set up your iBook for internet sharing with your T2? Best, Rich

Hi all, I recently got a BT card for my Palm. Works great with my PC (equiped with a D-Link BT thingy). It syncs well with the BT, and internet sharing was a snap to set up under XP. Anyway, I go to set it up for the Mac (since Apple says BT for Mac is easier), and its a huge hassle. I...

Hi Zammy, I thought so too, but I had to download and run the firmware updater for the BT chip separately. I had to dig a bit to find it, too. BTW, I can now close the cover of my PB and it will wake via BT. Kinda cool. I have my home office torn appart right now, and the PB is the only...

Hi all, I just got a new wireless BT keyboard for my PB (love it) and I had to futz around a bit to get the ability to close the PB cover, yet use an external monitor with the BT keyboard and mouse. Turns out there was a firmware update to the Bluetooth module that allows this. I had to...

Hi Guys, My $0.02. I agree with btoth. It was nice surfing through the finder into the network shares. Rather than just clicking, and maybe waiting a second or two while the directory info gets sent through the network, now, I have to goto the finder, tell it which folder to mount, let it...

Hi all, Quick question here...what are those small icons in the bottom left hand corner of the finder windows (panther)? One looks like four small squares, and the other looks like a pencil with a line through it. I've searched all over and can't seem to find a good referenfce. Thanks...
