The IP you gave is a self assigned IP address which tells me you are not connected to an external server. You didn't state how you were connecting to the internet. Wi-fi, Ethernet, dialup..... Let us know and maybe we can come up with some solutions.

The Argosy uses an older version of Samba and it rather picky on how you connect. It states that it will work for the Mac but getting it there is difficult at best. First off you need to format the drive in fat 32 for Windoz. More than likely you will have to remove the drive and put it in...

Check to see if you are getting assigned an IP address. You can have a solid connection but not be assigned an IP address. Go to Preferences/network/status to see. Chuck

You can block any MAC address you want to but that is the long approach. Better to just allow the ones you want to. You will have to update the "allowed" MAC address's if you want to add another machine. The key setting is the password. You type in a password and it will generate a...

It's toast. Probably the cable from the mother board to the screen unless you have tramatized the screen lately. Dropping it, sitting on it...all bad. If the MB and video were bad then you couldn't drive an external monitor.

Your computer is probably toast. Dihydrous Oxide and electric components do not mix well. If you had used a vacuum cleaner to suck out the water right away and then waited a week for the left over water to evaporate you might have had a chance. It is still possible to ressurect it but it...

Try looking in www.craigslist.org for a used iMac. They can be found for around $50 in most cities. Cheaper than paying to transport a computer across country. Don't pay more than $50 for a 233. Plus you can upgrade to a faster model for next to nothing. I just got a 333 for $30. Any CDR...

The position on the list just tells the system where to look first for a connection. I use Ethernet, Airport and then modem. From fastest to slowest. It has nothing to do with speed.

There are many things that can cause wireless slowdowns. Distance from the node. It has to do a checksum to make sure all the packets got through. If they fail then they have to be resent. The further you get away the worse it will get. Even if you are close to the node walls and other...

One Under security on the Linksys there are several options. One is to password the system so that you will need a password to access the network. Passwords can be simple or very complex. If you choose hexadecimal and 128 bit expect to use a password with 26 digits. Even the 64 bit password...
